Storyboarding 'Back to the future'

As part of our preparation for our coursework we looked at many children's film opening. We specifically looked at 'Back to the future' in more detail and noted down key points such as: camera angles, camera movement, sound and key hints to connote to the audience of genre, audience and what the film could be about. After these notes we made a detailed storyboard of the shots shown in the opening with the specific techniques shown.
From this task I learnt how to produce the correct storyboard with the right type of information. I also learnt how important it is to create a storyboard as you have to follow the right techniques and know what your doing in order for the film to work and make sense. I also learnt how to use a theme appropriately, from watching this sequence as it was very clear with all the main camera movement of tracking used to show many clocks and the sound of ticking, that the film was about time travel.
Doing the task helped me to realise how much specific techniques you have to show and be aware of. I also realised that 11 detailed pictures of storyboarding only filled up about 30 seconds of filming so it helped to realise how much is needed to go into this filming. I also learnt how to be more aware of techniques and how they are shown throughout and how to use them in storyboarding.
