Storyboard

Here is our groups storyboard that was created by Tisha. 

Before the storyboard we gather everyone’s ideas and match them together to create the documentary. 

After those ideas were settled, we created a draft of the plotline which acts as a guide in creating the storyboard. 

Using this guide, we were then able to create a detail storyboard. 

This style of storyboard was good as it has details of each shot, but it was very time consuming. So we decided to do a much simpler version for the rest of our storyboard. 

Additional notes: From the storyboard, shot 17 shows real footage of a photograph that was taken before the documentary timeline. Where shot 23 and 24 are stage footage, including shot 8 and 9. 

Reflection: For me, when creating the storyboard, plotting the scenes on paper can feel a bit useless. I think this is because our first ideas could often be improved by later ones, and since it is harder to change the storyboard once it is drawn, it can be difficult to work with. However, it still plays an important role because I helps us capture our vision so that during filming, we do not forget it. Overall, since I tend to get indecisive, I decided to let my teammate who was in charge create the storyboard instead. In the end, we all needed to agree on something before adding more ideas, as it can be very hard to cooperate otherwise. Luckily, my teammate made great decisions, and I was satisfied with the choices and the storyboard she created for our documentary.
