R+P Post 12: Our Storyboard
We used a storyboard as well in the planning filming and editing of our film opening. It ensured we had an accurate idea of how the opening sequence would go and could visualise it as well as plan how the shots would fit together and what shot types we would use. It also helped during editing so we could easily put the shots together.
For each different shot on our storyboard we would use post it notes to make it easier to change shots as well being able to code them colourise with which type of shot they were.

Long Shots = green
Mid Shots = orange
Close Ups = blue
Graphics = pink

This made it much easier for us to easily identify what type of shot it was and could get a better idea of how the spread of different shots looked.
Much like our timeline our storyboard was divided into three sections so we could more easily plan it in sections as a group.
We also documented the camera movements we would show in our opening sequence using thick black arrows, as well as showing titles and credits so we knew the exact positioning for them
R+P Post 11: Our Timeline
The first step we made in planning our opening before the animatic or any storyboards was to create a film timeline. The advantages of this were that we were able to stick to the 2 minute time allowance accurately and were able then to plan the sequence of events chronologically. This ensured that we had an accurate idea of which order the shots would be in and how long they would last, in turn this made the making of our storyboard much easier as all we were required to do was vissualise and draw the shots, we did not have to worry about the order and we did also have a good idea of the shots as a result of the timeline as well.
The timeline was made up of a beginning, middle and end. This meant we could easily split our sequence into sections and better focus on each section as a result. We also better plan the soundtrack for each section and thing about how we might vary the volume of it when there was and wasn't dialogue.
