Storyboarding

In today's lesson, we began to learn how to do storyboarding, which is an essential part of creating a piece of media production.

The reason this is so essential, is because:

• It's part of the creative process
• Translates the written word into moving image
• Sequences ideas
• Creates cohesion in the narrative
• It's a working document to aid shooting schedule
• Helps gathering of footage and the post production of process

As the director of Harry Potter films said:

"making a movie without a storyboard is like throwing your money into a bottomless pit"

So we were set the task of storyboarding the opening scene of Skyfall, which I have attached below.

I will be doing more storyboarding throughout my planning process for my 2 minute opening scene film, which I have also decided to change the genre for, which will now be Drama.

I have decided that I would prefer to do a Drama piece for my film as I am more engaged with this genre and have more experience with it, so therefore will be creating a sad story which I will give a full story line and character profile in my next post.





Must: Create character profiles and explain genre.
Should: Start creating a storyboard for my own film.
