My group and I decided that before we create our film we first have to map it out. In order to map it out we have to use a storyboard. A storyboard is a graphic organizer displayed in a sequence of how your film will progress. Before my group and I actually create our storyboard we did some research. I looked at this link to help me prepare my storyboard… since this is exactly what we are going off of when filming. 

In my first article I learned that there are many things that need to be taken into consideration when creating your storyboard.

• evaluate each shot
• break down your script ( if you have one)
• construct each panel how you want the film to flow
• create a shot list that you plan to use

All these steps are important for many reasons. I also looked up different storyboard to get an idea of how I would create mine in a way I would understand it and be able to use it it’s full use. 

I also looked through a link that displayed a bunch of storyboard from 15 different films. I came across one that really struck my eye. There was a storyboard for the film Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. Since we were shown an excerpt from the film Psycho I really got to see how the storyboard showed exactly how the film is showed just in drawings. This storyboard helped me picture how I am going to plan out and draw my own storyboard for my film opening.
