Prior to filming I produced this storyboard. Although it doesn't appear to be complete it contains a list of shots that I intended to capture. After producing this storyboard the track was altered slightly therefore the timing information didn't apply. When on set I had the storyboard with me at all times. Although I consulted it I didn't follow it. The reason was because there were conditions that I was unable to pre plan. Therefore as a result I had to work with the limitations on set. Also because I was borrowing the lens and the lighting I was met with different challenges on set. For example the lens was very cropped in which I was aware of. What I hadn't fully considered was the distance I would have to stand from the performer to get any distance on the shots. Therefore with the set dressed I was unable to achieve those specific shots and instead had to work within the available space.
Also the lighting hadn't been tested fully before using. On the day they didn't suit the aesthetic I was trying to create. Once assembled on set they made the walls look green instead of yellow and in general they lit the set too strongly. Therefore I resorted to using orange sugar paper as diffusers to add warmth to the light and take the cold clinical look off them. This wasn't something I was able to nor did for see when producing the storyboarding.
Instead of using the storyboard traditionally with this shoot I used it as an ideas list and for inspiration when I was considering how I wanted to capture the scene. Obviously on a real set where equipment is costing money and actors need paying I would need to try and for see these challenges in advance. Therefore this part of the production has been a very valid learning process. However having said that I would want to stick to a storyboard I would also note that it was important for me to be willing and prepared to deviate completely as on set you are bound to find a better angle or more interesting way of capturing something. In a situation where I would be working with others this might prove problematic as I would need approval for making any changes. However when working by myself I was able to make executive decisions and alter the process to achieve a better outcome.
