A storyboard serves as a visual blueprint for a film, breaking down the action into distinct panels. Each panel features ordered illustrations that detail camera movements, dialogue, settings, moods, and other key elements. My team and I mapped out the opening sequence of our video, detailing it shot by shot. For a better understanding, one can reference my earlier blog post, “Our Script (Draft One)”

Our storyboard created by me

Under each scene drawing, I made sure there were notes indicating the types of camera shots and elements we’ll incorporate. Our short film will feature a diverse range of camera techniques. In box five, you’ll find details about the camera placements during filming. I wasn’t quite sure how to draw the scenes (from the camera pov) for shots four and five, so that’s why I made sure to incorporate the camera placement.

Although I personally enjoyed making our storyboard, I did struggle a bit with drawing the accurate point of views, but I’m proud of myself for finding a solution that not only made me happy, but also my peers. Additionally, box four showcases our vision for the look of our production company.
