Planning - storyboard

Planning the storyboard was very difficult for us. This is because knowing it was a trailer, we knew there was no set order it should go in. This meant there would be a lot of picking, choosing and swapping between which shots we wanted in the trailer. This is where the idea to use post-it notes in our storyboard was formed. We thought this idea was perfect as the post-it notes are square, which is the right shape for our shots, and all the same size which makes it easier. But we could also move them around as much as necessary until we found an order we liked.

This was our original storyboard. We showed this storyboard during our pitch. We researched other trailers more and found out that trailers usually show about 90 shots in 1 minute 30 seconds roughly. We had nowhere near that many shots so we choose to add more, which made our storyboard much bigger.
