Why we storyboard:
Storyboarding is an essential step to any filming process, to grasp a general idea to what we want each specific scene to look like, down to the costuming of the character. It also helps us understand how long each scene will take, and helps us figure out if we need to cut out anything to ensure we stay within our given time.
Learning to storyboard:
Although our teacher explained and taught us how to storyboard, we wanted to get a stronger understanding, so we went to YouTube. The video we found was simple and straightforward, leaving no room for confusion, which was really helpful.
First two scenes on filming day #1:
SCENE 1- THE GARAGE
The first storyboard goes over scene 1 of our script. This scene takes place at night in a garage. We went over the first four scenes including the opening ECU of Derek writing on the blueprint, the MCU of the bulletin board, and the OTS shot with a body bag in the background. This board also includes the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds we plan on implementing into this scene.
SCENE 2- THE KITCHEN
The second storyboard covers shots 5-7, including a tracking shot, a POV shot, and a slow zoom in. This board also includes our diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, such as house ambiance, footsteps, and Lisa's voice. The sound of the killer becomes visible in this scene, making it one of the most important sounds in the entire opening.

What's next:
Creating our storyboards was the last "planning" step for us, so now we can confidently move into filming. They also help us understand if what we put down on these boards is executable, and helps us grasp an idea of how much time we should spend on each scene.
