Storyboarding

Storyboarding is a very important aspect to filmmaking, through planning how your shots are going to be organised and also giving you a look into how your film will actually look.
"The making of the new and re-arranging of the old" Bentley 1987
This quote goes to show how to make market successful media, you need to look at current existing products, through following common conventions you know what your target audience already like. When producing and creating shot types I used influences from other films, such as 'Hunger' by Steve McQueen, which contains lots of camera movement, steadicam shots and pans between characters. This technique is included in my storyboard, in my opinion helping to create a very fluid, smooth and professional looking film.
Steve McQueen's 'Hunger' is a great film for me to analyse, as it is evidently targeted towards a similar audience to mine. It's an powerful, independent British film which was funded by Film4 and won numerous awards at film festivals, exactly how my film is intended to be.
