Continuity Editing Task - Storyboarding

In my previous lessons me and my group have learnt how important story boarding is, and how it will help us when we come to sketching ideas of what our final opening sequence will look like. From knowing this we knew how important it was to create a story board for our continuity task which we all will understand easily.  It is important that each of member of the group can understand and read the story board properly so that it will be easy to direct the actors.

Before we started our story board we had to find out what we needed to include such as:

• Shot reverse shot
• So NOT break the 180 rule
• Variety of shots
• Non diagetic sound
• Interaction between two characters

The main narrative we produced for this task was that of a student who attempts to steal a mark scheme and gets caught in the process. We believe that we can meet all of the specifications in this storyline and create an interesting piece.

The main thing I learnt from this task is that more detail should of gone into the planning of the storyboarding. The version we produced is quite vague and their is still a lot that is open to interpretation. Something we will have to improve on in future tasks.
