Before a studio start recording a film they must make sure they know what exactly happens in the story line so the studio produce what is known as a storyboard which is a sequence of images showing what will be in the shot with detail on editing and other camera work jotted down around the storyboard itself.
Below is a storyboard for the opening titles of the classic comedy "Shaun of the Dead".
If you have watched the film you should be able to recognize what happens in this scene as it is very accurate to the film itself.
To see how accurate the storyboard is I have posted the same scene from the film below so we can compare.
The storyboard is the story line and base line in which the film reflects off. The storyboard needs to be good to create a good film. The storyboard contains the detail that needs to be put into the film.
The next post will be on our storyboard.
