When I started thinking about what I wanted my self portrait video to look like, I decided to draw a storyboard to help visualise it. I decided to start with a blank white screen and have one of my favourite quotes fade in and out of the scene to help create the personal tone of the video. I then went into a handheld shot which will follow me walking onto the beach, and that helps create an atmosphere, show the environment while also starting the video in a relaxing way.
Throughout the storyboard I have landscape shots that I want to use to show the location but also I want to fade a quote in and out of the scene to make it effective and add to the relaxation of the video. I have done this three times within the storyboard in order to create a personal tone and clearly show what my favourite quotes are.
In each description of every shot I have written what shot type it will be, whether it is handheld or stable and what is going on in the shot. This is so my camera operator can look at the storyboard and know what I want without having to explain it in too much detail.
I have clearly numbered each shot so I can tell the camera operator what shots I would like to film first and what shots I would like to film last without having to describe the look of them. The numbering will help when communicating with my crew.
I have also added duration times that will be useful in the editing stage of the project. This has been done to roughly estimate how long the video will be in total and roughly how long each shot should be in the timeline.
I have then ended the video with another one of my favourite quotes to keep the audience entertained, and I have made sure to add the credits at the end.
Creating a storyboard will help me when it comes to filming and editing the video. It was very useful to have in the first project so I know it will be useful in this project and the drama video as well.
