We had a lesson today on storyboarding because this will help us when it comes to creating our own storyboard for our coursework. We learnt the importance of storyboarding and why it is so important to film makers.
In what ways is storyboarding effective to the director?
Storyboarding is extremely effective to the director because it provides the essential link between the planning and the filming process. Furthermore, it allows the director to start visualising the film for the first time as well as focusing on the structure and sequence of the film in order to analyse the links between shots and action/graphic matches. Alternatively it also gives the director a chance to revise the narrative sequence and make decisions and revisions on the overall piece. Some directors feel very strongly about spending a lot of time on storyboarding and making it extremely detailed. This is very cost effective because it means they are not wasting time on set making vital decisions such as the camera angle and shot because they have already been made in advance. In addition, it might also give the director a chance to prepare for specific parts of mise-en-scene that may be needed when it comes to filming. Storyboarding is also effective to the director because it gives them an idea of the timings, continuity and pace as well as technical awareness and understanding. Therefore, they are a vital part in the film making process because they overall provide a guideline to help the director when it comes to filming.
