planning for my film the storyboard

The task was to do the final Planning for my film and this is a continuing task over the next few weeks. this would allow me to have a clear picture of what my film storyline and settings are and how everything works together to make the final opening sequence. There are eight key features to the planning that i have to do, these are script, story board, actors profiles, setting boards, prop boards,  permission for filming and test footage.

now that i have completed all the research tasks i had to do i know the requirements that the BBFC and the target audience have to make my opening sequence successful. Now that i am planning for my opening sequence i will take these requirements into account when planning my film opening.

THE STORYBOARD

the next task was to make a storyboard for the opening sequence of my film. to do this i would use my film synopsis and the script i have made previously to make a detailed shot by shot description of each of the shots in my opening sequence. i had to draw sketched of what the camera will see and what dialogue, music, diagetic sounds and shot type will be used in the shot.

from doing this task i have learnt how to make a storyboard and the features that are included in a storyboard. as well as this i have learn the effects the storyboard has on the making of the film by allowing people to picture how the scenes will look in the real film when it comes to filming.

the key thing the storyboard does to help me making and filming my film is it allows me to have a clear idea of the shots i will use and the positioning for the characters in the shot. also the storyboard allows me to show my actors what i want them to do and what they will be saying when, the script goes along with that to show them what they will be saying.
