Before a film is shot, the film is already made, but in drawings. As a cinematographer, after a lot of research, my second step was to break down the scene to transform it into a simpler visual sequence: a storyboard.
(A storyboard is a guide where each panel represents how I want the story to look.)
The first thing I did was look at and analyze the entire extract. Then, I divided it into three scenes (according to the changes in location). The three scenes are: (scene one: the exterior of the ship, scene two: the interior of the ship, scene three: the exterior of the ship again).
Then, I divided the scenes (3) into the important moments, as simply as possible (6 key shots) and then turned them into vignettes. Then I drew each shot, trying to be as accurate as possible, because my goal is to capture the essence and techniques of each shot. And by that I mean camera angle and movement.
Here are the most important shots from the storyboard:
Wide Establishing shot, low angle, zoom in
Medium shot, Two shot, eye level, tracking shot
Bird’s eye, crane, POV, short shot
