STORYBOARD

The storyboard builds on the Timeline to visualise the shot and work out the type of shot to use and why is is used. Why tracking or craning is used and why, and finally why we shoot to edit and why. Much like the Timeline, we can see what works and what cannot. Storyboarding is a more in depth technique of structuring our narratives and helps with the progression of our ideas and plans. The storyboard is he plan which we shoot to, so if it works on paper it should work on the shoot day. This can prevent wasting time and save expence for the video. The storyboard works out the type of shotm the anglesm the camera movement, the colours and shapes, the mise en scene and how the image composition rules will be applied in the film. Anything and everything is thought about in the storyboard so that the shoot day is as quick and easy as it can possibly be. This is crucial, as we only have one day to shoot.



The second cene of our video will be the DJ performance. It will be filmed in the studio using a graffitied wall. We will be making this from corigated iron, old rough posters and graffiti. However, in this shot we will cover the wall with a black curtain. The simplisity of the shot will hopefully intise the audience and enhance the tension of the narrative. The DJ will be intensly playing on the 'decks' in front of the wall. A small selection of white spot lights will be used on the Dj and the curtain. We may use a 'canted angle', which could convey an odd world within our surburban evironment.



We will be using tracking in shot five. The scene will be made up of the two 'gangs' who are walking towards one another in the derelict factory. The tracking allows the audience to be in the position of the action which will create intimisy between the action and the audience. This keeps audiences interested within the action and encourages them to follow the anrrative. Aesthetically, tracking can we extremely pleasant to the eye, once again encouraging the audience to concentrate and stay with the action of the video.



An idea of an editing technique that we may use is the variations of colours and black and white. Shot 12, as shown in the storyboard could be filmed in black and white. Thr graphics on the wall and the simplicity of the DJ's costume and performace can be emphasised. This will prevent any distraction from the narrative or the subject.

I had researched tutorials of storyboarding before I created mine. I found this video sepcifically interesting and usseful to ensure that my storyboard was accurate and organised correctly.
