-When are they used?
Storyboards are used in all forms of films and programmes, with some formats using them more than others. Storyboards can be used at all stages of a productions, at conception they can be used to convey the concept for a new production, detailed storyboards specifically can be used to help sell the story to a commissioner, it is a lot cheaper than test shots or pilots etc.
At pre-production, storyboards are used to enable the detailed planning of an entire production, each department such as sound and camera will use storyboards to work our what is required and when. Some productions, in the actual productions stage, use storyboards as their first point of reference, before the script. However, not all productions use storyboards, such as long running shows such a Eastenders who know what they're doing day to day already. In post production, storyboards can be used in the editing phase to help the editor visualise how the director intended a scene or sequence to be constructed.-Story-board styles
1. Graphic - most detailed version of a storyboard, will always be used in action dependent films or series.
2. Diagrammatical - less artistic and most commonly used type of storyboard, they give less detailed amount of information about the design of a shot.
3. Plan View - this type usually consists of one drawing for each scene, viewed from above.
-Shot descriptions
-Birds eye or Angles perspective -Extreme Close-up-Extreme long shot or wide shot -Close up
-Medium Shots
Trailers - designed to hook the audience into watching a specific film or tv programme.
Trailers were first used in the cinema and originally shown AFTER the main feature, because they 'trailed it'. Mostly, they are cut from the film to form the trailer, however some are specifically shot, for example Hitchcock's Psycho.
Questions to ask/think about when creating a trailer - What is the story?
-When is it on?
