Preliminary Exercise 17: Film Production and Postproduction

 

Is it important to consider editing during the storyboarding phase of film production because it helps organize the sequence of events in the narrative. The objective of this exercise is to showcase editing planning in the storyboarding phase of production, demonstrating sequencing of time and space to effectively communicate to an audience. My team created a storyboard with various editing techniques to demonstrate our understanding of how to include editing in a storyboard. Shot Reverse Shot, Eyeline Match, and Jump Cut are all examples of editing techniques. A director would use shot reverse shot to highlight the relationships between the characters or to convey how the characters are feeling. Eyeline match would be used by a director to give insight into two characters. A director would use Jumpcut to maintain or increase audience engagement in a film. The result of the storyboard was satisfactory and there was minimal time spent, completing this task in about 2 days.

Shot Reverse Shot: The Wolf of Wall Street

Eyeline Match: Burn After Reading

Jump Cut: The Ring

Reflection

          A film's storyboard serves as a visual plan, presenting a series of drawings or images to help viewers visualize the plot in advance. Storyboarding is an essential part of the filmmaking process. To demonstrate our editing methods and show how scenes will come together using these different kinds of editing techniques, my group produced a storyboard. Khloe drew the storyboard, Peyton assisted with the editing sequence planning, and Marley and I researched various editing techniques. For this exercise, we used computers and a storyboard sheet. I discovered that if a shot is not executed correctly in the storyboard, it can be redone instead of discarded.
