Ok, so I'm still trying to figure out an ending for my script, but in the meantime, so that I don't get too behind, I'll storyboard what I have so far, and maybe that'll give me some more inspiration and ideas as to what I can do for the ending.
I'm not a great drawer, but as long as I understand what I'm looking at, its fine. But before I begin drawing, I want to make my shot list first so I have the full, in-depth step-by-step filming checklist that I can draw my shots from. I think this will be way easier than trying to draw it from the script. At least for me. It divides the workload of trying to figure out what shots I want in a scene and exactly what I want them to look like.
For the shot list, I'm going to make a spreadsheet to organize everything in a way that will be most useful to me when filming. I categorized each shot into shot #, type of shot, subject, movement, and short description. Here's a screenshot of how the spreadsheet is laid out. Whenever I get to a new scene, I change the color to differentiate the scenes easily.From this shot list, I can begin making my storyboard. Since I have the shot list, I don't have to draw out every single shot, but just the major ones to aid me later when filming so I can recall what I had in mind for each shot.
This is what I've got so far, it's not every single shot, but just the main ones I feel the need to draw out. Most of the other ones are basic closeups or medium shots used in conversation, so I don't need to draw that out, as long as I use my shot list. Now the only thing I'm really missing is the ending.
