Matt who was in charge of video storyboards came up with a really interesting method of storyboarding. I’ve only done storyboarding on A4 template through handwritten descriptions and hand drawn visuals. Matt began storyboarding by printing out general and outdoor pictures of home/houses. Then he got into more details, like bedroom, living room and toilet. Following that he looked for specific relatable images of ‘what is in a home’. For example, welcome mat, shoes, house keys, toothbrush and photo frames. He cut out all the images he printed and began sticking them on a white board as visual representation of the storyboard. I find it a really amazing and useful idea, as it is indeed more visually supportive when explaining the idea of his storyboard.

Matt’s main idea was to shoot b-rolls, mostly from a low angle or eye level. The B-rolls will consist of some establishing whole room shots and also extreme close ups, mostly the finer detail of things in a home. Below is a rough shot list that Matt came up with.
