A film storyboard is essentially a large comic of the film or some section of the film produced beforehand to help film directors visualize the scenes and find potential problems before they occur. Often storyboards include arrows or instructions that indicate movement.
Alfred Hitchcock's films were strongly believed to have been extensively storyboarded to the finest detail by the majority of commentators over the years.Storyboards for films are created in a multiple step process. They can be created by hand drawing or digitally on the computer.
If drawing by hand, the first step is to create or download a storyboard template. These look much like a blank comic strip, with space for comments and dialogue. If a director wishes, more detailed and elaborate storyboard images are created. These boards tend to contain detailed information and convey the mood for the scene. These are then presented to the project's cinematographer who achieves the director's vision.

My first draft storyboard
While my stroyboards do not posses the professional look of the Hollywood storyboards it still allows me to visualise what our groups opening will look like. I have learnt about all the requirements that a storyboard needs. I have added a picture, description and shot number. Im proud of this as a first draft. However i will be re-drafting these in the near future and will be hoping to add much more detail. Hopefully i will be able to add actual still images that will make filming much easier.
