Two/three-column Storyboard

Two-column storyboard

 This is a brief preview on how 2-column story boards look like.

Two column story boards are there to help you instruct the camera man, technicians and the actors on what they are supposed to be doing on filming day. This method of planning is really useful for us because it helps us be very precocious and accurate on what we're supposed to be doing as a group on filming day. It's important that you include; camera shot angles, describe how the lighting is going to be like, specify the length of each shot, action of the shot must be clear and also to make it easier for yourself, you can also include editing notes to save time when it comes to editing the footage. Due to the type of work we're doing, we don't have to write about every shot we do, instead we can just write about every sequence.

My three-column storyboard

This is my three column storyboard where I have added an extra column with the marked up footage code. I did this to make it easier for me to identify which footage is going where. It makes life a lot easier as an editor because it speeds up the process of developing the final product and also allows me to organise and arrange footage appropriately, because in the real world, most editors are not on set to know which footage is supposed to go where when editing. Having a third column with the footage code, allowing me to know what would actually be taking place in the footage, and also the duration of all of the shots.
