Research and Planning: Story board

Before starting on our story board, i carried out some research on what story boards are and why they are important in the process of planning for our film. From this video i learnt that a story board is a photography/visual version of the script for our film. A story board is really important as it will help us plan what props will be needed, what type of lighting should be used, what camera angles or shots will be used and important of all, it tells us whats going on in that particular scene. This video also mentions that we should have a 'shot list' - a list of shots that are going to be included in each scene. This is also important, as it will help us be organised and use time efficiently and not waste time on agreeing on what shots should be used. Having a shot list will also enable us to see who's in the shot e.g. the teacher or the students and or teachers and students.
