What I Learnt From Storyboarding

Creating a story board for our opening sequence has helped give us a more realistic idea of how it will pan out.

It has also given us a relatively good idea about the duration of each shot and which shot we could use. It basically sets up a plan for production and can ensure you wont forget what shots you were initially going to use.

The drawings of each shot also indicates how the actual scene might look and gives an idea of the setting. A visual aid makes it easier to show and explain our idea to people. A storyboard can show exactly how our video is going to be mapped out. It also makes it much easier to understand our idea.

A storyboard also helps for editing as the editor can piece together the clip accordingly.

Before creating a storyboard, we weren't sure exactly how to position the character in the opening sequence.

This is an example of a storyboard that was made during the process of making Alice in Wonderland. It shows the step by step process of the film.
