Storyboard

Storyboards are used to visual the images that will appear on the screen. You work out the types of shot, the angles, the camera movements, the mise en scene, the colours and shapes, anything and everything.

Storyboards are where the real work happens. Storyboards are much cheaper to experiment with, to try things out than messing about on the day of filming. A piece of paper and a pencil and a storyboard artist cost a lot less per day than the million pound a day that will be spent on movie.

Pop Videos are just the same. You work out all the shots on the storyboard before you even begin to think of filming. You spot the mistakes, the things that don’t work, and put them right in the storyboard before you film. It is a bit like creating a puzzle or a plan, which you shoot to, and then you put the puzzle together afterwards. The Storyboard builds on the timeline and is used to visualize the shots.

For example we drew a long shot which

is used to put focus on the physical actions carried out by the artist. We use jump cuts in order to reinforce the absurd world the artist is performing in. This is made clear in our storyboards. We go from Long Shot to Mid shot from Mid Shot to Close-Up. We make clear in our storyboard where and how the artist is moving. This is done by white arrows that point in the direction t

he artists moving. We are using close-ups in order to introduce the unknown artist to the viewers.

Another Example are tracking shots which we use to create a smooth and comfortable atmosphere this is however juxtaposed by the actors performance and editing techniques. We track from right to left which is comfortable to watch for the audience. We also use a tracking shot in order to reinforce the unexpected twist that occurs in the end. Tracking is signalised by black arrows that point in the direction of the track.

I found this link on the internet it is the storyboard prodction of The Lion King

These videos describe how to storyboards and the process of pre-producion.
