Planning: Storyboard

Above, is the storyboard for our trailer: B36.

A storyboard is essential for planning the types shots and the arrange them in an order that would look appealing. For example, in the beginning of the trailer we decided to take account of the location by using a wide range of camera shots/angles/movements. By using this footage at the beginning it introduced the audience to the location and gave a insight to what the genre could be.

We generalised many shots that we would include; medium, tracking, close up, high angle, long shot. This should appeal to an audience because they are not just watching the same camera work which can sometimes look repetitive by using an array of shots/angles/movement the audience will be kept on their toes.

The location shots will consist of different areas of which the characters live in which also informs the audience more about the characters making them already have a stereotyped judgement i.e. working class, poor housing and low income families. The display of signs such as 'Remove your valuables before the thieves do!' will notify the audience on what the trailer might entail.

Therefore, the audience will be addressed as to what type of area the characters live in, from then on they will be introduced to the characters receiving a deeper understanding of their personalities what they will bring to the film.
