What We Learnt
Storyboarding
Storyboarding is the process of planning out a scene or an entire film through the use of drawings and diagrams that produce a visual representation of the directors vision, helping the crew to understand how each shot should be taken. It is used in all feature films, and is increasingly being used as a primer for "Previz" a process in which the shots are animated very simply.Not only did we learn the importance of storyboarding, we also learnt the format and technicalities of it. For example:
- A pan or tilt is signified by one large arrow on the edge of the frame in the direction of the movement
- A track is signified by two large arrows in the direction of the movement
- A zoom (in or out) is signified by a smaller box inside a larger box with lines connecting the four corners. Depending on whether it is zooming in or out the smaller box represents what is shown when zoomed in, and the larger box represents the shot when zoomed out.

Concept Development
The group discussed possible further ideas for the opening scene after having watched the trailer for "Se7en" (Fincher,1995) which features a disturbing montage.
We had to keep reminding ourselves that we would be creating an opening scene and not a clip from a film so this limits what we can show the audience etc.
