A storyboard is a graphic representation of a video composed of squares illustrating each shot along with notes on dialogue and scene details. Storyboarding allows filmmakers to plan shot types, actor positioning, and angles before shooting to understand if the clip will make sense and make corrections. It is an important part of pre-production and the whole clip making process.

1. What is Storyboard?
A storyboard is a graphic representation of
how your video will unfold, shot by shot. It is
made up of a number of squares with
illustrations or pictures representing each shot,
with notes about whats going on in the scene
and whats being said in the script during that
shot.
2. Why we use Storyboard?
Storyboarding simply requires each shot to be drawn in a box, often
writing to explain what is happening. By making a storyboard we can
see whether our clip makes any sense. Storyboard allows us to see
how our clip would look, therefore before making the actual clip
storyboard is required to understand whether which types of shot
could be used, whether the positions of actors are right, and whether
which types of angle could be used. Therefore overall it allows us to
make any corrections before starting to shoot our clip. Creating a
storyboard is an important point during the whole process of premusic clip making.
3. Making the Storyboard
We wanted it to look as nice as possible therefore we spent fairly a
long amount of time correcting it and rectifying. We decided to
have a fair division of labour where each of us would have an equal
amount of work to do. Unfortunately I don't know how to draw,
therefore all the drawing were done by other members of the
group, whereas I checked the sequence and animated the
information.
4. Animatics
After we finished making our storyboard we started to
animate it. Animatics gives us a better idea about the
timing and a rough idea of how our clip would.
An animatic is the first stage of the edit in an animation.
It's the combination of the storyboards and timing. It's
used as the base for the animation: including the shot
angle, durations, certain actions, and timings as a
5. Creating animatics
We used final cut pro to edit animatic, which we
also used last year to edit our prelim task. However
this time we had also to match up the beats of the
song with the shots we made.
