Here is where I talk about the planning of my Youtube film Overcoming Adversity.  As a group we decided on a theme of a person in a wheelchair overcoming obstacles on campus.  Through storyboarding we planned a script.  Storyboards are traditionally a hand drawn frame by frame picture of what the film director expects.  The individual pictures will consider; camera angles, facial expressions, lighting, mood, special effects, soundtrack, background and frame titles.  Because the film is short we planned out a beggining, middle and end of the film.  If we had more time we would have designed a better plot for the film during our storyboard process.

Storyboarding provided our group with a series of pictures that illustrated what each person in the group would be doing during the short film. It demonstrated the script of the movie we were about to make in a pictorial sequence. It added the group to understand visually from start to finish where each of us were expected to stand act and respond to the camera. The story board also helped the camera person to understand what angle they were expected to take each shot from. What was to be included in the frame and at what point in time.

The storyboard provided us all with a plan of the steps that were going to take place within the acting and directing of the film. Because we already had a plan we were able to quickly film the movie and then move onto editing.
