Some Notes On Storyboarding For Final Project

Whilst reading a book named Directing Fiction by Robert Edgar-Hunt, I came across some bullet points about the uses of a storyboard. I was already aware of their importance, but seeing this list made it a little clearer as to what other uses they can be used for.

The points that I have highlighted are the ones that I already associated with the use of a storyboard. However, the ones I have not are new ideas to me and will be something I will use in the future.

For our final project, I will use the storyboards primarily to:
Create a strong vision for the cinematographer to envision whilst producing his own plans in pre-production.
To allow the rest of the crew and possibly the cast to envision what the idea in the script will look like.
To allow the sound department to consider their positioning and the type of microphones that they will use whilst on set.
To inform the producer what sort of schedule he will need to be thinking of when it comes to shooting the project.

On top of this, I will use it for my own reference and keep it to one side to remind myself of any shots that I may otherwise have omitted. The essential shots could also be highlighted in order to ensure that they are made, and not cause the need for a reshoot, or something worse.
