Start Process of our Thriller Production

Today we strated the process of storyboarding and talking about props and locations. As our Coursework we need to produce the beginning sequence of a Thriller/Horror Production which should last about 2 and a half minutes. I am in a group with Storm, Tom and Amy and we started the process of creating a storyboard by writing down the order of actions that are going to happen to then convert them into a storyboard. Amy is the Producer, Storm is the Director as well as me and Tom is the editor. We created a storyboard to make sure that when we are on the set we know excactly what and how we are going to shoot it and don't have to make it up. It provides instructions to the sound and camera crew and helps the director to organise the scene. A storyboard is also very hgelpful because if you are for example having a conversation in the sequence you don't take the camera, do the first sentense and then everyt b ody is turning round behind the other person so with the help of the storyboard you can form shots together and shot shots that are the same at the same time.
