Storyboard

Storyboard from Holly Jones on Vimeo.

A storyboard is the most crucial part of the planning stages. Without a storyboard directors would not know what camera angles, shots and parts of the script are meant to be used and when. The first time my partner and I set out to film, we left our storyboard behind by accident. It was impossible to film anything without a plan.

This storyboard gives you an idea of what the film should look like. What shots will be used, when they will be used, how they will be used. What accompaniment will come with each shot (dialogue, sounds, music)?


With this storyboard I can film shots in order and in effective time. It will help me all the way through to editing, when I need to decide which sounds and music go where.
