Storyboards

Storyboards
Storyboards are series of illustrations of scenes in a film that are used to layout the film before the actual filming process, this is important to do as it is very helpful in deciding camera angles and types of shots.

Storyboard Plans
For the woman being sat alone in the restaurant, we shall have one camera shot. Probably a wide shot, followed by a cut to the man running towards the restuarant.
Another shot will be the man entering the restaurant and briskly walking to join the woman. We shall show continuity and match on action with this.
The first piece of dialogue will be an over the shoulder shot facing the woman. This shows shot reverse shot. It will then swicth to an over the shoulder shot of the man composing himself. This will reflect the 180 degree rule.
After this there will be a wide shot of the waitress coming over to the table and offering drinks. a few lines will be exchanged then the waitress will leave.
The man and woman will finish their dialogue and it will all be done reflecting the 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot. However, when the waitress returns, it will be a wide shot of the three chracters. end.

Our Storyboard


Camera
From our storyboard we have been able to decide the different shots we are going to use with the camera. We are mainly going to be using wide shots, which is a view of the whole scene. And we are also going to be using over the shoulder shots, this will convey the 180 degree rule as well as match on action and shot reverse shot.
