Storyboards

For our thriller opening sequence me and my group had to create a list of potential shots in our storyboard. As well as drawing what would be in the frame of our shots, we also used colour to specify what connotations that we would be using to represent our thriller genre. We also had to write down basic information as to what type of shot this might be, which would help us decide what props or setting that would be used in our shot. We also had to include what type of sound would be needed, whether we would use digetic sound, non diegetic sound or if there would be any sound at all. This would give us some idea of if the particular shot was to be fast or slow-paced, and if this type of music would fit in to our shot. Lastly, we had to write a few sentences (if that) on what exactly would be happening in this shot and if any effects were to be used to emphasise what was happening.
Personally I found the storyboards to be extremely useful as they really brought our idea's together, and allowed us to improve or change the shots when we started filming. They were almost like a step my step guide as what to do and how it would work, so therefore I think that not only were they useful for our blogs but for us as a group aswell.
