Change the Beat (storyboards)

These are the storyboards created for the title sequence (Change the Beat). Every scene has been drawn. Although the feedback given, was to include images of dancing before an image of the injury. The title sequence will take a maximum of two minutes,which I think is an appropriate time for a title sequence.Over all, the storyboard plan will be used when it comes to filming. The two locations are Becky's house for the wheelchair scenes and a Dance school for the dance scenes.

Continuity sequence

A continuity sequence is a series of shots put together to make a continuous sequence.
Before making the continuity sequence as a group we created a story board, to use as a guide line for filming. We used a variety of shots in our sequence such as mid-Long shot, high angle, over the shoulder, Match on action and so on. All of the shots that we used helped us make a smooth continuity sequence.
