After creating our live action storyboard we had to present it to our peers in small groups and then give feedback based on the camera shots/movement, narration and framing. From this, we would be able to be completely sure that our opening sequence had flowing continuity and also that we hadn't missed out anything or made a mistake. Some of the feedback we got back from our peers after watching our live action storyboard was:
- All the camera shots/movement have been thought out well and seem to fit how the audience should view the scene.
- The narration of the opening sequence make sense and the continuity flows well as it all comes together very well.
- You might need to think more about framing and where you actually place things in the scene as well as applying the rule of thirds to determine where you want the audience to see certain things based on what type of effect you want to have.
- You also might need to think about the places you actually couldn't go out and shoot a practice shot for the live action story board. For example the first establishing shot through the treetops might need to be though about more as to how you are actually going to achieve that.
I have attached the link to our final live action storyboard that was exported to YouTube:
In conclusion, getting feedback from our live action storyboard's was very helpful as it increased our understanding of our opening sequence and informed us on what we still needed to think about in order to be completely prepared for when we begin to film.

Live action storyboard
In our most recent lesson, we were given the task to make a live action storyboard of our opening sequence. A live action storyboard is a mix of actual drawings you have made as part of your storyboard and pictures or videos you have taken in real life to bring to life what you want the shot to look like. These would be put together in movie plus and edited so that we could present it to other people in our class.
The other person in my group drew out all the shots we wanted to achieve throughout our opening sequence. We started off with an establishing shot through the tops of the trees as our first shot. The camera would plan down through the trees and link to the second shot which is a medium long shot showing the behind of our actress walking her dog through the woods. Next, their would be a close-up of the dog panting and a close-up of the girl listening to music through her headphones. After this, the girl accidentally trips on a fallen over tree and so we planned to have a close-up of her leg connecting with the wood. Then, we will have a medium close-up of the girl laid on the floor when the camera then pans to show the dog running off into the distance. As the main character gets up, a medium closeup will be used to show her rubbing her head and after realising the dog is gone, start calling out for it. The camera will then follow behind the girl as she hears the dog barking and the sound leads her to an abandoned house. There will be a close-up of her opening the door to the abandoned house and then as the door closes the camera will being to pan away from the house and go back into the tops of the trees as the last sound the audience hears is the character screaming. I have attached a picture of the story board below:
Once we had the storyboard drawn up, we went to an empty classroom to take the pictures that would re-in-act the drawings. However we were not able to complete some of the shots such as the establishing shot through the trees, the close-up of the dog and the shots of the abandoned house as we did not have the resources to do so and was not essential for a live storyboard as we could just add in the drawing to fill out the story and keep the continuity. I have attached the picture we took below:
In conclusion, this helped greatly with the understanding of what our opening sequence was actually going to look like and gave us an idea of what shots we were definitely going to use and any shots that might need to be changed.
