Hey Blogger! Exciting news, I finished my storyboard for my excerpt from an episode of the series I created, "The Roots of a Flower: Our Underlying Insecurities". Although I am super relieved to be finished and have a useful outline for what I will be implementing, I am slightly fearful for filming. Even though I think my storyboard will be helpful, since this is a documentary, I do not know the duration of the excerpt yet since the interviews have yet to take place. So while filming, I definitely need to mention that the two questions she will be answering need to be around 2 and a half minutes that way I can complete the requirements for the length of the portfolio project while also showing enough B-roll that I am creating.
The storyboard is simply an outline for what I will be filming that way I feel more organized and prepared when filming day is actually here. I am not too nervous to film since I have a plan for interview shots and a variety of brainstorm that I have for B-roll. Since I have been in Sadie's room before and know the space well, I feel more comfortable with the set since I know what I can utilize. I definitely plan on overshooting B-roll but I know that even if I do not have enough the include within my excerpt, I can still match episodic documentary conventions but having Sadie send me past videos or pictures that match up with what she is discussing throughout the documentary.
However, I have made slight changes to the storyboard since I will not be changing interview locations anymore and will have to change around the B-roll shots depending on what Sadie is discussing that way it matches up with what she is saying and the overall flow of the excerpt itself. Despite having to take these aspects into consideration, my storyboard is still going to heavily play a factor in how my piece is going to be structured.
As for the questions, I am beginning the end of the excerpt with a question about what she does to make herself better about her insecurity and the last question of the documentary being if she is happy or not. I am unsure of exactly how I want to phrase these questions but I am sure that these are the two questions that I will be asking in that particular order.
After finally completing my storyboard, I feel much more happy and confident with how filming is going to go and I cannot wait to watch my project come to life since I really like the concept that I am producing since I believe we need more awareness towards insecurities in the media. I'll see you on filming day, Until next time!
