Creating a storyboard is ESSENTIAL when making a short film. It allows not just the director to understand their own film but allows others what they are doing when being filmed and allows them to be prepared on what they are doing. To make this as easiest as possible for people to follow I will create a photo story board which will allow me to see what angles, shot and location I want to film instead of writing it out in a long list. It also allows an easy flow of images and therefore more flow within my short film. Being an avid artist I will also add details to this storyboard and images to also make this easy to follow.
After creating my storyboard I need to assign roles to the different talents I want to be within my short film. I have already done both of these along with filming and this was the hardest part through the entire process so far. Trying to find dates for filming where EVERYONE could be filmed was frustrating, a few talents in the end ended up not even being able to make the day and therefore freeing up more dates to film. The dates I had booked out for filming where the 19th and 20th of August, everyone meeting at my house before walking to the film location within the middle of the woods. I had previously been to this location and narrowed the location down to 3 possible ones before settling on the final. As it turned out, on the day of filming two more cast members didn't turn up, leaving a cast of 11, 6 for the Shadow Selves and 5 for The Sketches.
