Storyboarding

A storyboard is a graphical representation of the shots to be taken in a film sequence. These are all to be connected by a narrative or concept behind it. The story is envisioned through a series of drawings accompanied by annotation which depict the location, characters, props and setting of each shot. The annotations involve detailing the action, camera directions and type of shot, lighting directions and basic dialogue. 
         What is a storyboard for?

A storyboard is an outline of what the film will look like but in written, motionless projects. It enables the director to visualize the flow of camera shots and sets that they want to eventually appear on the camera screen. The process of storyboarding is to help the director decide the sequences of shots, the movement of actors, camera directions and lighting directions. The storyboard illustrates how the narrative will flow from one shot to the next as the audience watched the film.

    Good to see that you have blogged all tasks this week and started your storyboarding. You do need more description to the timeline and an area for development is the cropping and presentation of the photograph as a document. To do this crop the photo on your mobile device first before posting onto your blog.
