The document describes the author's process for creating a storyboard for a trailer. They began with non-detailed written notes imagining the trailer, which they used to create a more detailed visual storyboard. While not a strong drawer, the author found the storyboard process helpful for structuring shots and allowing more detailed work, even if they prefer simply writing down imagined shots. It provided a framework to easily order shots as work progressed to shooting the actual trailer.
2. The first
‘storyboard’ I
made was nondetailed
written notes
that I recorded
as I imagined
the trailer
itself running
through my
head and from
this I was able
to create a
more detailed
storyboard
that
attempted to
visually show
the ideas I
had.

6. Personally,
I am not much of a drawer and
much prefer to just write down the exact
shots I am imagining in my head, so the
Treatment and Shot List will probably allow
me to express my ideas easier.
However, the storyboard has acted as a good
basis to allow me to be more detailed within
my further pieces of work leading up to the
actual shooting of the trailer as it gave me a
structured grid in which I was able to order
the shots easily.
