Creating a Storyboard

In the process of filming it is very important to have a plan for what you are going to set out and try and accomplish. A storyboard has the desired effect, as almost each and every shot can be pre-planned and filming will have a much more organised and professional effect.

When deciding what certain shots to put down on to the storyboard everyone in the group has to come to some sort of mutual decision, which can be very difficult as everyone usually has their own individual view of what appears to look 'good'. As James and I encountered these problems we soon began reaching mutual ground and soon began sketching rough ideas for a storyboard. Soon we had a good selection of ideas that presented what we wanted to express in our music video.

When drawing the animatic James and I did encounter problems, especially in me realizing that an animatic was just what shots we really did want to include and the rest just being filler almost which can be filled in when it came to editing, a concept i did not understand at the time and many disagreements did occur but soon were resolved.

As you will soon be able to see from my animatic and the comparison to our final music video, never did i think how useful it may be especially when it comes to the day of filming, and it may give James and I a lot to disagree on but also stuff to agree on and build and work towards.
