20 - Plan your story in 5 sections in a storyboard / 22 - Create a shotlist

These are 5 drawn sections in a story board that we will include in our film. Doing this gives us a visual idea of what we will include in the video so when we come to the days where we film it won't take so long to come up with different shots and knowing the way in which we film them.

In the storyboard above, this shows quick shots of the main actress in her house, upset. It shows different shots of her in different rooms doing different things. There is a long shot of her in her bedroom sitting on her bed eating food. The next is a close up of her crying, then a mid shot of her on the phone, the next a long shot of her on the sofa and then sitting on a chair.




In the storyboard above, we have the main actress in a house. In the first shot, it shows a long shot and birds eye view of her playing the piano whilst lip singing the words to 'Afterglow', the next is a mid shot of her singing, and then a close up of her hands playing the piano. The next three shots are of the actress and its a zooming shot going from a mid to close, to extreme close up shot.




The storyboard above is of the couple going for a dog walk in the woods. This scene doesn't include lip-singing. The first two shots are a long shot of them holding hands, then changing to an extreme close up of the hands together. The next is of the dogs face. The next two shots are a mid shot of them close to each other on a bench zooming out to a long shot of them.

The storyboard above shows the two protagonists dancing. They are dancing in different places and situations which changes every shot. They are doing different dances wearing different clothes, which is a slightly obscure array of shots.

The storyboard above is very similar to the first storyboard. But instead of the woman upset in her house(shown in the first one), it now shows the man upset in his room and sulking, in two mid shots. The man then gets angry and paces around the room and then punches the door in anger shown again in two mid shots. The last one is a mid shot of the actor looking at himself in the mirror.
