Looking at storyboards

As a group we thought carefully on how to present our storyboard.



Some storyboards are very simplistic, comprising of simply hand-drawn images in an order which they'd appear on screen. Although they are understandable they lack detail which can make filming more difficult.


Other storyboards use more detail such as the image below. They comprise of both text and images. The explanations, however describe the mood of the scene and what's going on. This is not as useful to those in the production process such as directors who need to know which camera shots/angles/lighting etc to use create the mood stated in the explanation.



The "No country for old men" storyboard is a better example of a good storyboard. It is very detailed and not only comprises of detailed images but the scene number/shot number along with the camera shots and angles. This is something I should learn from when creating my own storyboard.
