Story boarding!

At first I thought story boarding would have a written account of the shots and transitions so my group started the first photo attached. Soon we realized that we had to draw pictures of what the camera does through angle frame and movement. As we researched I wrote notes. I also found a video of how they story boarded the famous film Sixth Sense which is on the same photo of notes.

first we thought this was story boarding

We also spent another lesson looking at story boards:

This is a story baord for the famous cartoon Wallace and Gromat

Next we practiced making a story board for a form of media titled "Terror in the night" with a chase scene this is the storyboard our group came up with:

The next photo is of the storyboard of the two minute thriller opening but we need to rearrange the structure of it so it is the best it can be. however we have now realised how long each shot is going to be (3 seconds) which is a worry as we have a lot of shots and not enough time. An example of changing the structure would be moving the credits from the end to intercutting the titles between shots. We have now also realised that we haven't got enough shots to move on and create the animatic. Also in the photo the image of the storyboard isn't very clear but our animatic should make out ideas more understandable.

An animatic is a programme that puts all the shots from a story board together so it is nearly identical to the real television or cinima shown narrative. For example
