Storyboarding guidance

The second part of your production task for Assignment 2 is a 10-frame storyboard of your film trailer - for the same film as your film poster. 

What does your storyboard need to include?

• 10 frames
• Institutional information / studio logo
• Synergy (links) with your poster – the same image, tagline, release date, colour scheme etc.
• Production blurb
• Text on screen / voiceover
• At least three close up shots

Don’t forget the basics....

• Shot number
• Type of shot
• Edit/transition (cut/fade to black etc.)
• Dialogue/sound
• Camera movement
• Timing 

Plan and sketch using post-it notes and then draw a first draft on storyboard sheets (make sure you write about camera movement, sound, dialogue and any other details in the right-hand boxes). When you are happy with your storyboard, you can then draw a final draft with colour and fine-liner that looks fantastic.
