Storyboard



Evaluating

Want went well is that they were able to get the base of the pp documents but next time need to do it in more detail such as the image drawn were very detailed making it easier to follow.
EBI: The PP documents given were below adequate as the script was very brief and gave no detail leading to very little understanding when filming it as the script was not put together correct. The Story board was incorrect as the shots written did not match the images drawn on the storyboard making it impossible to follow it would be better if it was more accurate and the images matched what is was telling you to do 2/10

Storyboard:

• An essential planning device in the film and television sector of media 
• Mostly used by directors as it allows them to think in advance about how they want the narrative of their media product to develop 
• It also lets them think through the audio and technical codes they might use to create the narrative 
• making a storyboard helps media producers think through the moving image in their minds and on paper with Camera shots, angles and transitions  all included 
• if a storyboard is well-connected and thought out, it saves a lot of time and money when filming a moving image text 

Storyboard conventions

• Shot description, number and duration - a short description of what will be in each shot. Each shot must have a number and how long it will last. This helps work out the final film duration.
• Visuals - Drawings of what will happen in each scene. These can be really detailed or simple line drawings. Sometimes photographs are added. The image should show how the shot should be framed and include any key props (mise-en-scène).
• Technical Codes - What camera shots and angels will be use for each shot. Also a suggestion of what edit will take place between each shot. Arrows may also be used to show any movement of the camera such as zooms or pans.
• Audio Codes - Sounds that are to be included in the shot can be described. These need to be clearly identified as diegetic (naturally part of the scene) or non-diegetic (added to the scene), such as music, dialogue and sound effects. 

Script (screenplay)

• A piece of writing in the form of drama - different from prose forms of writing. Like novels and short stories, as it is meant to be performed either for stage, radio, television or film 
• When a script is written for film/TV it is sometimes known as a screenplay 
• A script has to sound effective when it is read out loud it also means to has to be written in a special way 
• A script consists of dialogue (what the characters say to each other) stage directions and instructions to the actors and directors
