Steve Ramsden from DIY Moviemaking here and today I'm talking about how to create SHOT LISTS and STORYBOARDS for your film! This is the fun process of working out where you want to place your camera, to capture each moment of your story in the best way possible. If you don't know what shots you want, a good option for beginners is to just shoot what is called coverage. This basically just means shooting everything again and again from different angles, and this will give you the maximum options later on, if you have the time to film all of it. But at the same time, you can easily go overboard with overshooting. If the scene is five minutes long, are you really going to need that wide shot for the whole five minutes? Probably not. Maybe just at the start and at the end, or maybe for a big key moment. So right there, you've just made a creative choice about what to film on the day.
