Research and Planning 11: Our Storyboard

In order to visualise our film during the development stage, we decided that it will be beneficial for us to produce a storyboard:















We have decided that we will use sticky notes for our storyboard as it allows us to move the position of our shots with ease. Furthermore, we will be able to colour co-ordinate the sticky notes we use so that we can easily identify what type of shot will be used.

Yellow sticky notes will be used for close-up shots

Blue sticky notes will be used for mid-shots

Pink sticky notes will be used for long-shots

Furthermore, we will also able to show how each shot will transition into the next by adding small sticky notes in-between each shot. This will help us visualise the progression of our opening sequence as a whole and will be useful when we produce our animatic. This is why we will likely use sugar paper and sticky notes for our storyboard as it gives us a great amount of flexibility.
