Storyboards

To form the structure of the documentary we have to make a storyboards. Storyboards are essential in the process of making a documentary as they help you to work out what shots you are going to use, what locations you are planning to shoot your shots in, the order of the camera shots.
The first storyboard we put together was a draft of the cartoons we were going to use and where we were going to put the interviewees in between shots of the cartoons. It also included writing explaining what we were going to do in the shots and what type of person we were going to be interviewing.
The second storyboard is similar to the first draft, this storyboard includes still shots of potential interviewees such as head of years, parents and school children. The final storyboard will include still shots of the people will we interview. The writing on this second draft storyboard is more detailed than the first.
After discussing the storyboard with each other, me and my classmate charlie decided that we would add narration over shots of children playing in the playground at school, watching cartoons, playing with siblings so that we could portray their behaviour to the audience making sure at the same time that we are showing a balanced argument.
Unfortunately Blogger will not allow me to upload the storyboards onto this post.
