Opening sequence storyboard

Creating the storyboard

In fridays lesson (11/1/13) I started to create the initial storyboard for our idea. I started off using sticky notes so that it would be easier to change aspects if needs be. Following this, I have no finished the storyboard and will be transferring it to storyboarding sheets so we can then move onto developing a script, call sheet and shooting schedule.

Oceans 12 extract storyboard

The orignal of this extract was staged editing, meaning the characters simply acted infront of a mid or long shot. There were no close ups or shot reverse shot, therefore our task was to incorporate a selection of different shots and change it to how we would have shot the scene. In my edited sequence I used a varity of shots including mid, close up and extreme close up to convey the characters emotions. I also used lots of shot reverse shot in order to keep and follow their conversation.
By using a varity of shots it created an increased sense of atmosphere and established continuety within the scene, moreso than the orginal staged editing. From this task I have learn that it is best to use many different types of shots to keep the audience interested and to establish continuety and flow; it is an invisible art and should be seamless. I aim to create this when filming and editing my opening sequence.
