The importance of Storyboards

On Thursday, we discussed with Mr Ford what we needed to do in order for our planning to go well.
We found that as we were drawing our story board, certain things we wanted to be in it we had missed out and we therefore found we had to add them in.
We also found that we needed to think about how long we wanted each shot to be on the screen for, and how long we wanted to put our titles over the scene for.
Also, we needed to think about where we placed our titles to make them the most effective, and also to make sure that they were the same time amount apart so we could ease the audience into the film little by little.
I learnt that we couldn't just make things randomly and the thought process that goes into making each little part of the film is important. I learnt that films have a set time sequence for each shot because the director wants the audience to be eased into the film little by little, and this is what we need to do in our opening sequence.
