Process Of Storyboarding

We now began to start work on our storyboarding. The first process of this was to type up a step by step plan of the narrative. Once as a group we had got a solid narrative set in stone having made any necessary changes (of which we made a few) to make the sequence run more smoothly and to help enhance the realism. We then went about turning the written narrative into a shot by shot document. We had to make sure that this included all the titles/credits that would appear through the sequence. Having done that, I as the producer had to delegate out to the other members in the group the different shots that they would storyboard. When we began to produce the storyboards we had to create a different word document for every page of the storyboard, numbering both the shots and the pages. Once I had collected together all 12 sheets from the different members in the group, we went through looking for continuity, for example making sure the time of each shot was written as ‘2s’ rather than ‘2secs’ or ‘2secounds’. Once every shot was checked and if necessary corrected, they were printed and the artist began to draw the pictures explaining the shots in more detail.

Here is a picture of the template of which we entered the shot data into. We had to write the, Location, action, shot movement, sound, lighting and editing information. Then when all this was completed, they were printed out for the drawring to be drawn in.
