Storyboard
A storyboard is a visual representation of a film sequence and breaks down the action into individual panels.
- Drawings, sketches, reference images or photographs to represent each frame.
- A description of the shot — any relevant information on the action, dialogue, or composition.
- Shot specs — shot size, lens length, two-shot, etc.
- Arrows indicate camera and/or character movement or how each shot connects to the next.
Traditional storyboards - Basic pencil sketches that include detailed information like arrows for camera movement, characters, props, etc.
Thumbnail-style storyboards- Don't include any writing.
An animation storyboard and animatics are fundamental steps, not just to refine the specific animation and movements but to craft story beats and character behaviour at the same time.
How to create a storyboard:1. Identify key scenes in the script.2. Map out the key scenes.3. Add images or sketches.4. Describe what happens in each frame.5. Share it to your team.6. Reference it on the day by priting out.

Film Production
Stage 1: Development: This is where it all begins. Development is the spark. A producer or a screenwriter has an idea, and they begin to make that idea into a movie.
1.1 The PackageA producer’s role is creating “the package” — a collection of essential creative elements for the project. This typically includes:- A screenplay (the foundation of the project and it’s important because it shapes the dialogue, costumes, budget and shooting schedule)
- Possibly a piece of intellectual property (like a book or existing story)
- A director
- Some actors
1.2 FinancingA fund is needed to start a production. It can be get from pre-sales or rely on slate financing.
Stage 2: Pre-ProductionAll the preparation necessary before filming begins.
2.1 BudgetingDecide how to spend the money you get.
2.2 Getting the team togetherHire heads of department or professionals to team as a group.
2.3 Pre-visualisingMaking out storyboard or writing out a shot list.
Stage 3: ProductionThe entire process of making a movie.
3.1 The call sheetIt tells each member of each department what their call time is and what they should be planning to do for the day.
3.2 The set upSet up camera lighting
3.3 ShootingSteps: 1. Assistant Director: Picture is up", "roll sound", "sound speeds", "roll camera", "speed". 2. Clapper loader slates, reading the clapperboard and marking. 3. Director: "action", "cut".
Stage 4: Post production All the work that is done after footage is captured to finish the film.
4.1 Picture editing Cutting together the footage to create a coherent film.
4.2 Sound editingGetting the right sounds in the right place at the right levels is an entire artform (and science).
4.3 Additional visualsThere’s a lot of additional treatment that goes into many shots, including various types of VFX like compositing.
5. DistributionFinal stage, get the finished movie in front of an audience. (Often overlooked but essential)
5.1 Marketing- Promoting the film.
- Cut a trailer, make a poster, build an electronic press kit.
5.2 Securing Distribution- Find a company to release your film.
- Major studios have an in-house distribution company, while indie studios often seek deals through film festival or hire a sales agent, or internet.

Reflection
Experience:
During these exercises, I learned the basic functions of Adobe Premiere Pro, such as how to trim and arrange clips, add background music, and apply simple visual effects. It was my first time working with this software, so everything felt fresh and a bit overwhelming at first. However, as I followed the weekly tasks step by step, I started to get more comfortable. One part I really enjoyed was adding transitions and seeing how small changes could affect the overall mood of the video.
Observation:
I noticed how important it is to stay organized when working on video editing. Naming the files correctly and placing them in the right folders helped me work faster and avoid confusion. I also realized how the editing process can completely transform raw footage into a more meaningful and polished final product.
Findings:
By doing these exercises, I found myself becoming more confident with the Premiere Pro interface. I can now import and cut clips, adjust audio, and add basic effects without feeling lost. Even though I still have a lot more to explore, I think this module has built a strong foundation for future projects. I'm looking forward to learning more advanced tools and techniques as I keep practicing.
