Shot number: The shot number along the far left of the storyboard helps to organise the shots. Me and Josh have chosen to order our storyboards chronologically so the shots are in order of how they will appear in the trailer. This, once again, makes sure that the paper copies don’t become unorganised and so that the order of the shots aren’t uncoordinated.
Editing: The editing portion of the storyboard adds even more explanation into what the director wants out of the shot. The editor can therefore take the footage we film and instantly understand what it is they need to do.
Images: The images are a crucial element for every storyboard as it gives the cameraman a rough idea and image of what the director wants out of that shot. Without this rough starting point, getting the perfect camera shot, angle and lighting would be a lot more difficult.
Type of shot: The type of shot column in the middle of the template helps to clarify what is seen in the image on the left. If the drawing is slightly ambiguous or unclear the type of shot helps to make sure that the shot is perfectly understood.
Dialogue – Sound – Camera Movement: This column helps to tell the reader of the storyboard (most likely a director, actor or cameraman) information about the shot that the image cannot explain. The impact within each shot needs to be easily understood by the people using the storyboard so that filming and editing can run smoothly. Timing: Timing is on the far right of the storyboard and lets the cameraman, actors and director know how long each shot needs to be. Without this column its unsure how much footage needs to be filmed and therefore incorrect timings and missed action may occur. Therefore this is crucial to make a smooth transition from production to post-production.
