Opening Storyboard

This week, I drew out the storyboard for our film opening. Firstly, I drew out an extremely rough storyboard which mapped out what would be happening in our opening scene and the approximate timings of each clip. I also added in where the titles could be included. As it was only a first rough draft, I didn't include any specific camera shots, titles or editing processes.

I showed this to Becky so that we could agree on it and change anything that we didn't agree on to come up with a final, much more detailed storyboard. We agreed on this basic structure and then I went back and added a lot more detail and care into it. My final storyboard that I drew out includes the Shots, Titles, and Timings as well as what basically happens in each clip. This will help me and Becky a lot when it comes to filming as we will be prepared to film what we need and what sorts of shots we need to get enough footage to work with our storyboard and to create a film opening we are happy with. It will also help us when editing as we will know what we want done with each clip and how long each clip should last. From our timings, we can calculate the total time of our opening so that we know it meets the rough guideline of 2 minutes. With the timings I have given, it turns out to be 2:05 minutes long.
