Storyboard

We have drawn out a storyboard for the shots in our trailer. Although we know this may change, it was vital to have some sort of plan so that when filming we were able to follow some guidelines, making the whole task much easier and less time consuming once we had got to the location. Our storyboard consists of 30 shots, some of which are title sequences. If our teaser trailer is 1 minute 30 seconds long, 30 shots gives an average length of about 3 seconds for each, which is what we are hoping to achieve because the film is a dance genre, so we need the trailer to be flashy, short eye-catching clips to grab the viewers' attention and persuade them to go and see the film.
We have then created this animated storyboard using iMovie, and cut each shot to the length we would like it to be in the actual trailer, to give an idea of the length and feel of the trailer before filming. We think the length of scenes works well, however we may change these once we have filmed the footage and we can truely see what the trailer starts to look like.
