R&P Post 13: Our Shoot-Board

The first page of our storyboard for the house scene.

We created our shoot-board by creating a table and adding the photos of the post-it notes to it. We then filled in the location, shot type, actors and the different roles. When we were filming we filled in how many takes we used and we recorded which shots were the best.

The storyboard was useful as it made the shoot day very proactive and time-efficient as we did not waste time. It also helped when we were editing the rough cut as we already had written down which shots were the best so we could spend time on the actual editing.

After the test and main shoots we adapted the shoot boards from seeing which shots worked and which didn't. We also recorded down alternative versions of shots to try which then gave us more options for continuity editing.

I have learned how useful the shoot-board and how it saves time when both shooting and editing.
