When planning an episode of a television series or film, a storyboard will be created to show each scene shot by shot. This is done in order to ensure that the shot types are varied, and it allows the crew on set to film all the scenes from one location consecutively, rather than in order of editing. Doing this is particularly helpful when filming shots from the exact same position, as it allows the camera be left still, and will therefore capture the shots without having to attempt to reposition it in precisely the same way.
As a class activity, we watched a small clip from series 3 episode 1 of 'Luther', the opening of the BBC drama 'Remember Me', and drew out storyboards for each. This task was done in preparation for storyboarding our preliminary exercises, which I will speak about in a future post. We created these storyboards as we watched the clips, but for our preliminary and final piece we will do it before filming for the aforementioned reasons.
