Storyboard

The purpose of a storyboard in general is to photograph (draw/digitalised) each and every shot that is going to appear in the film which involves a list of key information written underneath each shot. Storyboards allow the director of a film to visualise the whole film even before they have started filming and the storyboard allows the cameraman shooting the film to understand how the film should be shot. The befits of this is it allows you to change elements of the film and its shots if they don't seem to work visually before the expensive filming  process has begun. the frame of a storyboard shout contain -
The shot number- each shot must be numbered so the intended sequence of shots can be followed.


Framing- Whether the shot will be a close up for example or a medium long shot.


Drawing- So there is a visual image of what is happening in the shot.


Action- This is a brief description of whats happening in the shot.


Dialogue - Single lines may be written in order to understand in what shots dialogue is needed.


Sound effect- This is if their is any specific sounds diegetic and non diegetic.


Abbreviations can be used.
Therefore before making the opening of our horror film we have storyboarded the opening sequence in order to make the filming process as easy as possible and so we are organised and know what is needed when it comes to collecting/filming our footage
