Creating the Storyboard! (Planning)

A storyboard is a visual plan made up of drawings that show each shot in a film before it is filmed. It looks like a comic strip and includes notes about camera angles, movement and dialogue. I had some experience with drawing the storyboard since I had done it in the previous project.

However, the only different thing was that, we did not have a visual blueprint now... everything is from scrap! Using my research from my previous blogs, I created the storyboard which will hopefully be used during filming!

The storyboard + comparison 

Here, I will be comparing some short ideas to the storyboard and any difference between them. Two of the three were from last blog!

(1)

Lucille is in the background (shallow focus with focus on the slice of cake) preparing something...

I decided to change it so thar Lucille was at the far most side of the left, showing isolation from the delicacy.

(2)

Lucille looking at the doorway

I also wanted Lucille to be closer to the camera. However, in this specific one, the positoning of object is a bit off in the storyboard.

(3)

Steve sitting down at the dining table

I changed this slightly from the original I had based it off to make the framing of the opening more larger than Steve. The size difference shows an imbalance of power as well..

For reference, this is the first and last full page of the storyboard I have created for this production.
