The storyboard is a depiction of exactly what the shots are going to be and builds on the work which the timeline has already done. Pictures are drawn to demonstrate what the shot will look like and it helps the director decide what works and what doesn't. The storyboard is the plan that you shoot to, so if it works on paper that makes it a lot less expensive to do than shooting on camera for hours if not day. The story board works out the type of shot, the angles, the camera movements, the mise en scene, colours and shapes, and how the picture composition rules will be applied in the film.
For every line on the time line we have ten shots and each of those shots are demonstrated with the storyboard. We are using short sharp shots for our piece to give a sense of dynamism and drama. We are using tracking shots to give a good asthetic to the piece and to create the sense of movement and fast pace. Here is an example of three pages in our storyboard.
Below we have an example of a story board, in this shot the characters are spraying their graffiti 'tag' onto a wall. The page displays the timing, editing details, what is happening, the audio and what type of shot it is.
