ABSTRACT
It is important to remember that the planning and recording of your shots is only one part of the visual storytelling process. No matter what type of motion image project you need to create, the scripting stage is the basis for the content – the “story.” The careful fi lmmaker will generate shot lists and storyboards from the script – think of these as the “paper edit.” He or she will have a vision of what the fi nal project should look like. Production yields the actual picture and sound fi les that can be accomplished in the reality of shooting. It is during post-production – during the edit – that the story can actually be told – as completely as possible given the production materials that were provided.
