Use of Storyboarding

Throughout making our music video, one of the biggest challenges and differences to AS was the use of storyboarding. In making our prelim, storyboarding was useful to precisely replicating the exact shot compositions of the video. As the video was predominantly narrative, we had to pay close attention to shot reverse shots and match on action. In beginning to make our final music video, storyboarding wouldn't be used in the same way. Relying on circumstance, filming on public transport, we couldn't storyboard in such detail. Instead, we made detailed shot lists to use on location rather than drawings. In editing, the use of jump cuts and quick straight cuts meant the need for match on action was limited. We had a couple of sequences of shot reverse shots that required more detailed planning and filming multiple takes.
