For our timeline we created three sections that consisted of a soundtrack, dialogue/voice over and visuals segment. By doing this we were able to clearly map out what we wanted to include within our sequence and at which point. This method meant that we were able to figure out the specifics of our sequence. For example, we were able to ensure that the visuals included at any point matched the dialogue by altering where/how long we included the dialogue for. Overall, this was an extremely useful exercise as it enabled us to manipulate our sequence for the better, for example, it made continuity issues easier to spot and remove.
To create our storyboard we put post sticky notes on a large piece of A3 sugar paper.
We used different coloured notes to represent different shot types. This made our ideas easier to see visually. Our key: Yellow=Mid shot Blue=Close-ups Orange=Long shots. Using post stick notes meant that we could easily swap our shots and shot order depending on what suited our sequence more. We could also asses whether we had enough variation in our shot types by looking at the distribution of different colours. By varying shot types we created a sequence that was more interesting visually and therefore more entertaining. When deciding which shot to use, we got inspiration from many film openings. For example, in the film 'Submarine', close ups are often used to evoke a character's emotion. We also decided to do this as it was a quick and effective way to accurately portray the mindset of our character.
