• Initially, I didn’t really not know what a storyboard
was and how to use it
• The storyboard work helped me realise what is
realistically achievable so I could cancel out
elements that I could not do
• It gave me new ideas that I implemented in the
opening sequence
• I had to do several versions of the storyboard
• The key role of the story board was:
• construct the logical order of the story
and
• create a time-line for this logical order
• Also, it was a visual preparation for the angles and
the compositions of my shots
I learnt that the storyboard:
• could be a very precise tool for the filming of a sequence,
exactly planning the shots, the angles, the composition and
timing
• helps imagine the sequence before filming
• helps the actor prepare for the role, the attitude of the character,
the gestures and the actions
Now I believe that the storyboard is a key component for a clear
vision of the filming sequence. I will definitely be using it in every
future film projects.

• The key questions for me were :
• Who is the character? What
does he represent?
The character is an experienced hacker
who is in his teens and strives to fighting
against social, economical and political
injustice
• What the character is not:
• the asocial computer hacker-geek in
his basement looking for technical
brilliance or achievement, may be
living with his mum
• a criminal hacker who who is in it for
the money
The character is not this:
And not this:

• The key questions for what does
the character do?
I defined all the key actions to be
consistent with the character and his state.
He is tired, under pressure:
• He is rubbing his eye
• Looking behind
• Taking a drink
