- They also allow you to change elements if they don't work visually before the experience film making process.
Each frame should contain
- Shot number - can be followed in the intended sequence
- Framing - is the shot a close up, medium shot or long shot
- Drawing - a drawing visualisation of what is happening in the shot
- Action - a brief description of what is happening in the shot
- Dialogue - single lines may be written
- Sound effects - should there be any specific sounds, diegetic or non-diegetic.
