Below is a picture of the storyboard which I made for the film opening we are planning to remake - Drive. Whilst it appears to be a fairly basic storyboard, the cinematography of the opening of Drive is one which is made up lots of slow, panning shots, rather than the fast action shots which are usually associated with the crime drama genre. Additionally, for the storyboard which we make together for our final piece, we will go into much greater detail, including things such as the sounds, but as the only sound in this opening clip is the non-diegetic music, there was no need too.
Making a storyboard for this opening has shown us what a crucial tool it can be when producing the movie opening - it gives concise information about what each shot needs to look like. If we weren't to make a storyboard whilst shooting our final film opening, then we would end up shooting lots of clips which were unusable, which would be a waste of time and would have a detrimental effect on our overall grade.
Below is the complete storyboard for the film opening, with pictures underneath it which are zoomed in on each part it.
