Storyboard - P1(c)
Storyboard is very useful when we are going to shoot a video. It will help us to understand what exactly we will have to shoot. When we start editing, we will be able to put scenes in the right order.
My storyboard shows the shots which are necessary in my film opening. I've written some notes underneath every shot, where I've described what's going on and mentioned the name of the shots.
The camera's positions:
Shot 1: camera will move up from the ground to the sky
Shot 2: camera will move down from the sky to the field where boys are playing football
Shot 3: camera will be close to the ground to make a framing shot of Nick's legs
Shot 4: camera will be in front of the girls who are supporting Nick. Then there will be close up of some girls (reaction shot)
Shot 5: camera will be opposite to Nick to make a medium close-up of him
Shot 6: camera will be also in front of his girlfriend, close up of her face to show the emotions on her face
Shot 7: camera will be opposite and on the side to Nick
Shot 8: camera is in front of the couple
Shot 9: camera moves from the right side to the left
Shot 10: camera will be in distance in order to make an establishing shot
Shot 11: camera will be in front of the guys
Shot 12: camera is behind the back of Ekaterina to make a following shot of how she is coming to school
Set Designs - P1(d)
Main entrance of the school. In the first shot the camera will be close to the ground and then it will move up to make a crane shot. In the other shots which will take place in front of the school the camera will be in front of the school. Additional lighting won't be required as some of scenes will be shoot in the day time and there are the lights in front of the school so there will be enough lights for us when we will shoot in the evening.
Football field. Camera will be moving to show the different parts of the field. It will always be on the side of the field to make sure we will be able to show everything what's going on. Scenes on the field will be shoot only in day time, so no extra lighting is required.
