The storyboard part of the filming process is very important. It helps the director to record the film a lot easier. Having a storyboard is a direct guide to what needs to be film. I will say that this process has definitely been the most draining. Especially since I'm the only member working on my project. In the end I feel like the first big hill has been cleared. One of the biggest task is now out the way. Although I'm still kind of nervous about creating the social media platforms. But I do know that the filming process will be easier. Last year when I created a storyboard I didn't follow it as strictly and kind of winged some of the scenes. But this time around I think that now that I know what to expect I'll be more prepared.
Also when creating the storyboard you have to have everything planned out. You have to know the settings, the actors, the costumes, etc. I knew how I wanted most of these but now everything is set in stone. Before I didn't know if I wanted my cousin to play Jessen or my brother. While creating the storyboard I decided on my brother. To make the process easier on myself I created a guide. The guide would remind me what to draw in each box on all 12 sheets of paper. I'd write a brief description of what would be happening in the scene. Then I'd delete whatever scene I'm drawing after completing it. The story is definitely coming to life now, and it's only going to be built up more from here on out.
