Story-boards and shot choices.

 

 

 

What is the connection between story-boards and shot choices?

 

The connection between story-boards and shot choices is that when you make a story-board you are planning out the shots you want to take and you draw it out to match the scenes/script.

 

 

 

 

How are story-boards are used in production-

 

Story-boards are used in production because it is an easy/good way to set out your ideas. Also people will most likely understand it more than reading descriptions of a scenery on a script. It is also a good way to see how you want a shot of a scene to be filmed and at what angles you want the camera's to be.
