The Storyboard

You should aim to complete two versions of a storyboard


Version A. (Photograph or video each shot and upload) - to last ONE Minute

Draw each shot, identifying key information - Shot distance, angles, movement.

Number each tile in sequence and add the time duration for each shot.

It should last ONE minute.

Version Two

Animatic - This will be a video version of your storyboard - you add a commentary over the top of each shot explaining each shot - you can add additional version here about the kind of editing techniques that you using, the location, lighting used, choices for costume etc.  This will obviously last a lot longer and will last upto 10 minutes because of the spoken detail.
