Storyboarding

Typically I dislike storyboarding as I find it repetitive and unnecessary to do at length, however I wanted to push myself in FMP into storyboarding more. I researched into how to storyboard properly as on set I have found it hard to follow my own drawings.

After looking at those videos and developing my own way that I would feel comfortable with drawing. I found that drawing all the frames gave me more awareness of the set and what is in the frame and if it's necessary or could be framed another way. It also helped me to create a detailed shot list and number on my copy of the script what line should be spoken at which camera angle and saved time in the shooting process.

small arrow - direction of action/character
big arrow - movement of camera
cropped in/out of frame - zoom in/out
