This first frame is a perfect example of what we wanted to achieve in the planning of the film. This board contains almost all of the information a cinematographer, as well as a producer, would need to schedule, organise and know to be able to get the shot captured in an effective and efficient manner.
Included is:
- Scene and shot numbers
- a shot description
- blocking diagram
- lightings notes
- grip/jib notes
- estimated lens
- general f-stop range guide
This one above includes two boards as the shot pans. This shot, at the start of the film was chosen to shoot the male character upside down to create a certain mysterious and strange atmosphere, to let the audience know that 'something is not right'/.
The one above here includes two boards as although there is no camera movement, there is a significant change in frame composition due to an actor entering frame.
This one included a more detailed sequence with it (from the initial board ideas, this was so that the shot could be understood in the context of the sequence it was in, as all the shots in the sequence were not be shot together.
The board shows a particularly high angle shot. This board was done with just the idea of the shot on it, when it came to shooting it, many adjustments needed to be made to the blocking to achieve the desired effect.
This board included sequence and blocking/jib notes as an attachment.
This board referred to small sequence so that the context of each individual shot may be better understood.
Throughout the storyboarding process a lot of shots that were more 'sequence shots' than key ones were added to the boards of more important shots of the sequence they were in. This helped speed up storyboarding as well as making shooting easier due to be able to have just one board with us during the time we were shooting the relevant sequence.
