R+P Post 11: Our Storyboard

The storyboard we created had over thirty post-it notes to represent a variety of shots, which were posted on an A2 sheet, showing the order of the shots to help keep the sequence continuous and give us a practical design and backboard to our story with a greater understanding of our multiple shots that we were going to use. Our titles were red, close ups were yellow, mid shots were green and long shots were blue. It was very useful to visualise the variety of shot types we would use and be able to see the framing and blocking needed in each shot, so that when it came to directing, we could easily sort it out.

Our Storyboard

We could quickly trial our different shots in the test shot by using our storyboard and then physically see what types of shots worked best and which ones didn't. There were many close-ups and medium shots in our storyboard as it helped to create tension suitable for the action-thriller genre, as it would make the audience feel more involved in the action throughout.
