Every film that is intended on being made needs to have a storyboard. The basic idea behind a storyboard is to be able to visualize a film as there is no footage to show for it. Storyboards tend to be basic and uncomplicated however, certain scenes on the board can have many notes and annotations added if people have different ideas and possibilities for what can happen in that particular scene.
There are a frequent number of storyboards for one film with the first set being mainly drafts to pitch different ideas. This process is an easy and helpful one as you can make as many as you like and you have your exact plan to follow in front of you. Storyboards do not just help with what to include in your video in terms of shots and camera movements they help with the organisation of your script.
I am going to be drawing up my own storyboards for the planning of my film trailer and therefore doing research prior to this will help me gain a better understanding of how they work and how they can help me. They will help me immensely as I can produce multiple storyboard and change particular things in each one if I decide I do not like something. Moreover, once I have my final idea together I will be able to see all my storyboards and clearly see how my ideas have developed and changed until I got to my final idea
How to prepare my storyboard
I will have to consider a number of things when making my storyboard such as:
- What location will I be using for this scene?
- Which actors and how many will be in the shot?
- What props will I need?
- What type of shot is it going to be?
- Is there going to be an angle? (low-angle/high)
- What is going to be happening that scene?
- How long is this piece of footage going to last for?
- Do I need to add any camera movements?
- Will I be adding any effects to this particular scene?
