Issues, Ethics, Codes and Conventions of Factual Programming

A factual programme is a programme that is based on facts, the purpose is to present these facts to the appropriate target audience and anyone else who may watch it. Although the facts which are presented are sometimes coiled so that they show the producers biased opinion which then leads the audience to think the same as the producer.

There are many types of factual programmes which currently exist these are:

• News
• Quiz show/game show
• Live sports/sports show
• Discussion shows
• DIY shows
• Reality shows
• Lifestyle
• Special interest
• Cooking shows
• Educational shows

There is also a list of different sub-genres within documentaries I will state these and explain each of them briefly.

Docusoaps
Is a combination of two completely different genres which are documentaries and soap operas. Docusoap is a mix of fact and fiction which is uniquely obvious. They usually use storylines which are led by characters, they also generate their own characters with their own personalities and are always set around the same location. This means they are similar to soap operas, soap operas involve many characters and stories occurring at the same time. They are also similar to documentaries in a way as they show peoples everyday life, in which a documentary does.

After outlining some similarities there are also differences between the two different genres. Traditionally documentaries have a very serious attitude to them and are very informative. Docusoaps are in place to purely entertain the viewer.

Examples of docusoaps that currently exist are One Born Every Minute, Airport and Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.

Reality Television
From the title of the genre it is pretty obvious on what the genre specifically entails. Reality television is unscripted and documents actual occurrences. All in all reality television is different from other unscripted documentaries as it outlines personal drama. Examples of documentaries within this genre are Big Brother, News and Police, Camera, Action. Reality television is characterised by surveillance or observational camera work, primary event or eye witness testimony as well as studio to camera links with commentary from presenters.

Fly On The Wall
The camera is usually hidden or unseen. This means that the audience can watch the events unfold without a front being put on. A good example of a fly on the wall documentary would be Educating Essex. Another example would be Celebrity Get Me Out Here.  These documentaries include little narration as possible and refers back to being an observational documentary. As we are observing what is happening.

Mixed Documentary
A combination of interviews, observation, actual footage, achieve material and narration. The narrator pulls everything together making the audience understand the mix of all these elements. It also highlights both sides of the arguments.

Self Reflexive
A camera and the audience follows a person or a group of people around. As they know the camera is there they may purposely sometimes stop to talk to the camera.

Docudrama
A docudrama features re-enactments and reconstructions. The reconstructions should be exactly as the event happened. Crimewatch fits within this genre.

Fully Narrated
This is where narrator narrates throughout the documentary. Narration is used throughout to portray the exposition and to make sense of what the audience can see.

Issuses and Ethics

There are many issues that have to be covered, when producing a factual programme for television, these are accuracy, privacy, objectivity vs subjectivity, bias, opinion and representation.
Within media many people form biased opinions on issues. A biased opinion is when one person's own opinion is swayed further to one side of an argument or debate.

Accuracy is a very important aspect within all platforms of media, a programme has to be accuracte so that it can be broadcasted. In factual programmes such as the news, it is crucial that the reporters give correct and accurate information. If the information given is inaccurate about an issue or an individual it could be deformation of their character. Accuracy is vital if you wish to keep an audience interested and focused, an audience would prefer to read a story that are full of true facts rather than information that is not true. For example if you were interviewing an eye witness of a car crash, when you are interviewing this person you have to bear in mind that they may not be telling the full truth or may not be able to remember the full incident.

Subjectivity is defined as the belonging to the thinking subject, rather than the object of thought. Things can be classed as subjective are people's own opinions, moods and attitu
des. Some programs can be subjective if they portray only the individuals thoughts about an event, rather than looking at the wider context.

However, objectivity means the opposite of subjective. This means that whoever has produced the documentary or media piece has not put their mind, interests and opinions towards or within the product and hence it is an overall view, which is not affected by an individuals thoughts.

Representation is action or speech on behalf of a person, group, business and community and so on. In other words, this can be also described as how an individual or group is presented to us. Some examples of media representation are: class, gender, age, sexuality and more so. However, stereotypes and labelling comes under the influence of media upon us. The media use many stereotypes for example they class youths as thugs in hoodies, children and oldies as vulnerable and so on.

Another important issues within factual programming is bias. The meaning of bias means to prejudice, favouring something over another, in a usually unfair way. A bias factual programme is one sided.

Within factual programming another issue is opinion this a view of judgement about something which can affect you but not always necessarily. Usually it is a personal view of  a matter or belief about a particular thing however the same set values can be interpreted  in different ways.


Codes and Conventions (attached to news programs)

To be a news presenter there is certain elements you need to hold as an individual to carry out your job correctly these are:

• Editorial knowledge
• Understand legal and ethical issues which affect journalism
• Good communication skills
• Good interpersonal skills

As a presenter you have to make sure that you visually look presentable to the audience, if you go on air looking unprofessional then some people may tune out. As they may think if he/she is not taking their appearance into consideration then the information they are giving us may not be true etc.

When news reports are carried out presenters normally always do a piece to camera, there is always a voice over.

5 types of documentaries

Expository
Expository documentaries speak directly to the audience; most of the time in a form of commentary with an authoritative tone which proposes a strong opinion and argument of the subject or person. They also usually contain reconstructions.
An example of an expository documentary is Americas Most wanted, below I will show a short clip and explain about it briefly.

After watching this documentary I can obviously see that it is all fact, reconstruction is shown which outlines that it is an expository documentary. The woman who was the victim of the incident, you could see by her expressions that she wasn't lying.

Observational
Observational documentaries attempt to simply and naturally observe lived life with a minimum involvement. These documentaries tend to be non-biased and very objective. Within the filming of these documentaries mobile lightweight cameras and portable sound recording equipment for synchronized sound. Lightweight cameras tend to be used for immediacy and intimate filming as well as revealing of individuals human characteristics in an ordinary life situations.
An example of an observational documentary is 16 and pregnant.

This show is classed as an observational documentary because it follows the pregnant teens around and observes there everyday life and how they deal with the situations they face. A notebook style is used to outline and emphasise to the viewer the main parts featured in the show.
Reflexive
Reflexive documentaries are representational; they question the sceptical of realism and authenticity. The presenter of film-maker acknowledges there presence in front of the camera and provides a narrative to the documentary itself. The reflexive style of documentary is usually associated with experimental documentaries, where the viewer is just as interested about how the film is constructed as a whole as they are with the actual content within the documentary. When watching a reflexive documentary the audience is more aware of the problems the documentary maker faces while they make the film. They tend to be the most truthful out of all the sub genres within documentaries as they always focus on realism. An example of a reflexive documentary would be 'Driving Me Crazy' By Nick Broomfield.

This is documentary is a good example as it clearly shows Nick Broomfield in front of the camera with his film crew and most of the documentary itself is about making of the film, rather than the actual content.

Performative
Performative documentaries stress subjective experience and emotional response to the world. As documentaries they are strongly personal, unconventional, perhaps poetic and/or experimental. This sub-genre may lend itself to certain groups(e.g. women, ethnic minorities, gays and lesbians) to'speak about themselves' individually or as a group. Performative documentaries often link up to personal accounts or experiences with larger political or historical realities such as the war.
An example of a performative documentary would be Alain Resnais' Night and Fog (1995), with commentary by Holocaust survivor but instead a subjective account of it. Its a film about memory.

Interactive Video

Interactive media is currently everywhere, an essential feature of interactivity is that its mutual. The user and the machine both take an active role. Any form of interface between the end user/audience and the medium may be considered interactive. Even having a play/pause feature means you are interacting with the video.

Currently there are many forms of interactive media that exist these are:

• Fashion websites
• Digital booklets
• DVD menus
• Pornography websites/films
• Chat roulette
• Bonus content(video)
• Online adverts
• Interactive games
• Trailers
• Mobile devices(apps)
• Presentations
• E-learning
• Video sharing

Due to the advance in technology within the past years, media platforms have become more interactive for us. The purpose of having interactive elements within a platform could be for promotional reasons, which appear a lot on websites such as YouTube. Another purpose is for entertainment for users, if there is interaction within a platforms it enhances the users experience. Interaction is also useful for educational purposes, websites such as GCSE Bitesize contains interaction which allows the user to learn as they interact. Interactivity within videos can be just as simple as play/pause as you are interacting with the interface.



Below I will list a few of  the different forms that interactive media exist and explain each one.

• Youtube

Youtube is a video-sharing website, created by three former PayPal employees in February 2005 and since late 2006 owned by Google. Users can upload, view and share videos. YouTube uses Abode Flash Video and HTML5 technology. This is so that they can display a wide variety of user-generated content including video clips, TV clips, music videos and so on. YouTube accepts videos uploaded in most container formats, including:

• .AVI
• .MKV
• .MOV
• .MP4
• DivX
• .FLV
• .ogg
• .ogv

These include videos formats such as MPEG-4, MPEG, VOB and .WMV. YouTube also supports 3GP, this means that videos can be uploaded from mobile phones.

Originally YouTube offered videos at only one quality level, displayed at a resolution of 320x240 pixels. Now YouTube offers 144 pixels, 240 pixels, 360 pixels and 480 pixels, which I will explain into more detail when it comes to explaining quality.

• Interactive Kiosks

An interactive kiosk is a computer terminal featuring specialized hardware and software designed within a public exhibit that provides access to information and applications for communication, commerce, entertainment and education.

The integration of technology allows kiosks to perform a variety of functions, evolving into self-service kiosks. For example some kiosks may enable users to enter a public utility bill account number in order to perform and online transaction, or collect cash in exchange for merchandize.

• Video Games

A video game is an electronic game that involves human interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device.


As part of our coursework we created an interactive video and it involved decisions. Depending on the decision you choose, leads you down a different path resorting a different ending. We decided to upload our video on to YouTube as we thought it would be the most accessible platform to use.

Below is the video:

Our interactive video's purpose was to entertain the viewer, it contained a number of decisions leading to different pathways. It has two types of interactivity, as you can play and pause the video and you are choosing different decisions as you progress through the video.


Quality vs File Size

What is quality?

Quality is the standard of something when measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something.

Resolution

The display resolution is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. The display resolution is normally quoted as width x height with the units in pixels for example, "1206 x 750" means the width is 1026 pixels and the height is 768 pixels. Depending on the amount of pixels within an image/video depends on the quality.

Below is an image that is very poor quality from Youtube showing at 144pixels.

144pixels on YouTube would be more useful for viewing on a mobile devices, the lower the pixels the less internet it will use. Also depending on the screen size of your mobile devices will effect the quality on which you view the video above at.

There is a massive difference within the quality of the video now as visible, the video above was played at 360pixels which is auto for YouTube. This pixel size would be more suitable for a laptop or a tablet with a bigger screen rather a mobile phone. If you were to use a mobile phone to view this video at 360pixels you wouldn't get the sharpness like you do on a laptop/tablet.


Currently in this day and age we compare the quality of everything whether its worth buying. Say for example because an Xbox has less memory than a PS4 you are more likely to pay more for the PS4 than buy an XBOX which has less file storage. As an Xbox has less storage than a PS4 it would also mean that the quality(resolution) would be better on a PS4. Another example would be a DVD and a Blu- ray. Again because the DVD holds less than the Blu-ray would, the quality(resolution) would be a lot better on the Blu- ray on the DVD.

Below I will show the different of one game on a PS4 and an Xbox.

As you can see Grand Theft Auto 3 on the Xbox the quality itself doesn't look that good, this is because of the memory of the Xbox games will be displayed at a lower resolution compared to the same game on the PS4.

As the image shows above you can see that Grand Theft Auto 3 on the PS4 has better quality, this is because the PS4 holds a lot more memory.


Screen size Vs Viewing distance

Depending on what distance you view your television at, depends on the resolution in which you are watching a particular show/film at. For example if you were sitting to close to a television you would not be able to see the whole imagine in perspective. As well as being able to see the pixels within the image itself.  Same applies to if you were sitting far away from your television the image would be blurry, this is why you should be sitting at the correct viewing distance so that you experience the best possible viewing.

Below is a chart which identifies the viewing distance where resolution becomes noticeable.

Data compression

Data compression involves encoding information using fewer bits that the original. Compression can be either lossy or lossless. The term lossy is removing unnecessary bits/info. Lossy compression reduces file size considerably but leads to pixilation and reduced quality. The term lossless eliminates statically redundancy.

Compression is useful because it helps reduce resource usage, this means freeing data space or transmission capacity.


Data rate

Data rate is the rate in which information is transferred between electronic devices. In most cases, this term is used to describe internet connection speeds and how quickly a consumer can upload or download files.  Hardware components such as hard drives, memory, and video cards also deal with data rates as such as they also process information. Internet connections are more so measured in terms of data rate. A 56k dial up modem, for example can receive 56 kilobits per second as a maximum when it is fully installed. Information is sent is small chunks of data called packets.



File Size
The higher the quality of a video, music file or game the bigger the file size is. Watching a film in good quality can be good but unfortunately it takes a huge amount of space on the device you are watching the film on. If you reduce the file size then it becomes complicated as the quality then becomes pixelated.

Music Video

In this section of my blog I will be looking at and discussing music videos and the purpose of them. I will also go into depth on codes, conventions, styles and techniques used in music videos. As well as going into depth on genres in music.


The first music video which was produced was Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. In 1975 when Queen's music video was produced there was older groups/people performing but they weren't for the same purposes that music videos are made for currently.  The way music videos are made currently have changed hugely this is due to the fact that technology has become more advanced. This advance in technology allows us to use animation to create non-realistic scenes which makes it more interesting for the audience watching the music video if animation is used. The artist can be more creative with what they want to be conveyed to the audience rather than just having the song and just a boring video to accompany it.

There is many purposes to why music videos are produced, below I will list and explain into detail what the purposes are.

Firstly music videos are made to promote the band without a music video it would just be a song. When a video accompanies a song, the whole exposure of the single increases automatically. The band can also make their music video viewable on many forms of media such as mobile phones, television and the internet.

All bands use music videos to promote themselves but they also try to promote other artists. This is the term called 'Featured Artists'.  By having other artists included in the track helps to promote the other artists and show what they are capable of doing. This will then maybe encourage the audience to check their music out or buy the single itself.

Disclosure included featured artists in their tracks as well as so many other artists. For example in the Latch music video by Disclosure it features Sam Smith. Because Sam Smith is the main voice in the video the audience may inspire people to go check out Sam Smith's music. At the time of when the music video was released Sam Smith was a fairly new artist so it worked in his favor as he is very successful now. Disclosure have worked with Eliza Dolittle, Sinead Harnett and more.

A second purpose is to make money, I would say myself that this is the main purpose because without money the band cannot promote themselves. They also have to make themselves known, by doing this the band will then be noticed and they will more than likely sell their singles and albums.

A third purpose is to convey a story, message or opinion. Music videos are generally made to give us as an audience an illustration to the lyrics of a song. An example of a video that tells a story is Justin Timberlake- Mirrors.  It is about a couple who have grown up together and now the husband has died, the woman is remembering him as if he is still there. Personally I think for the audience it has an effect on them as it is a very emotional video. Through this video you actually feel yourself how the woman's feeling.

Music videos can also be used to help spread the message of a charity group or organisation. For example, Chases And Status's track Time used their reputation to help spread awareness of domestic violence. They did this by creating a music video that was based on a family which looked fairly happy but throughout we learn that the father is beating the mother. These videos can help individuals struggling in these situations.

A fourth purpose is to promote the album. Some music videos are created to draw attention to their newest album or single. Music videos can help bring the audiences attention  to an album. If the music video stood out to the audience and was a good video it would be remembered.

A fifth purpose is to entertain. Obviously one of the main reasons for making a music video is to entertain the public and this is either shown through the artist dancing, singing or playing a musical instrument. Someone such as Micheal Jackson was entertaining to the public because of his dancing.


Conventions of music videos

The camera shots used within music videos tend to be a mixture usually there are many long shots,close ups and mid shots. These shots are used to create emphasis and focus on the artist, surroundings and emotions.  Close ups are also used to show the emotions more effectively and the lip syncing of the artist. Lip syncing is conventional within music videos.

Camera movement within music videos usually follows the band or artist.  Camera movements include tilts,pans, tracking and crane shots.

Mise-en-scene   is used commonly in performance music videos, 'Mise-en-scene refers to the arrangement and props on a stage. It refers to the importance when something is being represented.

Within editing jump cuts are the main techniques which are used. Jump cuts allow a sudden change from one scene to another and it also looks good. Fade and dissolve are commonly used in music videos as they give a different style to the jump cuts. 

The lighting plays a big role in music videos depending on what genre it is the lighting can differ. Black and white music videos help emphasise a mood. Some artists decide to have artifical lighting which can give their video a more enhanced look/feel. 

The sound within music videos is mainly the vocals but obviously the backing track as well. In some cases music videos can be made into short films so there can be talking involved in them. An example of this would be Micheal Jackson- Thriller.

The colors within music videos depend on the genre really. For example if it was a rock video there would be more dull colors used. Bright colors are more commonly used in hip hop and pop videos. 





Music Videos - Styles

Performance

Performance videos mainly focus on the artists or band that is just performing on their own or in front of an audience. Performance videos never have a narrative to them, they contain a range of camera angles which are repeated throughout the music video. An example of a performance music video would be Bon Jovi- Livin' On A Prayer.

Narrative

Narrative music videos usually contain a story that is linked with the lyrics to create an effect. Narrative music videos use imagery as a main base to tell a story to the audience. Most narrative videos are based on mixed emotions even sometimes what the artist has been through themselves in life. With narrative videos the track which accompanied by the video tends to be slow paced rather than fast paced as this focuses the audiences attention on the imagery and the emotions within the song rather than the track itself. They can sometimes promote a film, for example Celine Dion- My Heart Will Go On promotes the film Titanic. Although it does have Celine Dion singing in some shots but the music video is mainly clips from the film Titanic.


Concept

Concept music videos are based on one idea or scenario. Concept videos allow an artist/band to be creative and original in their own way in what they would like to convey to the audience.  Cyndi Lauper- Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

Genres

Rock

Rock music videos contain close up and mid/long shots. Close up shots are used mainly to focus on the emotions of the artist,other members in the band etc. Including close ups in a music video can cause an atmosphere for when the audience are watching it.  Within this video you can instantly tell that its a rock video because of the dullness of it and the fact that most of the shots are black and white. Most rock videos tend to be black and white. Throughout the band is shown which is also conventional. The costumes tend to be very dull most of the clothing Kings Of Leon wear are black. Although there isn't any heavy makeup in this video, some artists/bands within the rock genre wear heavy makeup. The instruments normally used in rock bands are normally always drums, bass guitar/s and vocals. These instruments used are emphasised in the music videos, normally we see them close up. It also shows us that the rock band itself have talent if they are playing instruments.


Pop

The pop genre itself stands for popular music. Pop music videos consist of bright colours this corresponds with the mood happy . Pop music within itself is very eclectic. Elements from other styles are used sometimes this includes urban, dance,rock, latin and country. Pop music is usually catchy and instantly gets into your head after you've listened to the song a few times. Pop music videos normally consist of the band performing and singing. This then shows the audience that there is a positive atmosphere and makes them feel positive themselves when watching the video. 
A good example of a pop music video would be Gangam Style by PSY.

This video is conventional of the pop genre as the dancing is crazy. In my opinion the song is annoying but you remember it because of the dancing, the atmosphere which is created whilst watching it and the bright colours and weird things that happen in the video. Artists within pop music videos tend to wear bizarre or outrageous colours of clothing this is so that audience focus on the artist within the video and to keep the viewer entertained. Within this music video there are a lot of close up shots used this is conventional within the pop genre as this shows emotion. There is a lot of shots where the camera is close up on PSY's face and then pans out to medium close up shot, from the medium close up shot we see PSY sitting on a toilet singing. These shots are used to create
humour for the audience. The lighting within pop videos is normally vibrant and high level, this is to create a more positive feel about the video. Normally the editing seems to contain mostly jump cuts, within this video there is a lot of varied shots.

Drum and Bass

Drum and bass music videos normally consist of dark colours and imagery. Drum and bass music video locations are normally staged as a performance or in a club. Some artists within editing tend to use the ripple effect to show us as an audience how powerful the bass is. Also within editing fast cuts are used within the video to give the song a bit more energy.Wind fans are sometimes used to create the effect of showing how powerful the bass is. This would be shown through either the artists/band's hair flowing in the wind and so on. Loud speakers are normally in performance videos within the genre of drum and bass. Drum and bass artists sometimes but not always have other artists featured in their songs. A good example would be Chase And Status as they have had various featured artists on their songs. Clothing within this genre is very casual, there isn't a dress code what you'd associate with the genre drum and bass, where as for the genre rock you could easily define the dress code for that as mostly black. Depending on what the artist is like, for example Nero wear futuristic outfits, which wouldn't be conventional but some artists tend to break the conventions. To this day drum and bass makes frequent appearances in mainstream media and popular culture including in television, as well as being a major reference point for subsequent genres such as grime and dubstep and successful artists including Chase & Status and Australia's Pendulum.

Dance

Within dance music videos the main convention is dancing obviously. The lighting tends to be very strong and bright and the scenes tend to be also very colourful. The clothing within dance videos is sometimes very revealing, not always. Depending on what message or image the artist themselves want to convey. They normally tend to have a  happy vibe about them as dance music is very upbeat. A good example of a music video where all these conventions I've stated fit is Call On Me by Eric Prydz.

Script Writing

Within script writing there is a certain format which applies to make your script correct. The size of the writing on the script needs to be size 11 in the font Courier New. It is important in the film industry that you leave a indent of 2.5" for jottings to be made by script-editors or producers. Leaving this indent then allows the script to be easily read even with notes. You will also need to leave a margin when writing a script which will need to be 1.5".  Always at the start of a script there will be a technical detail to be added within the stages of editing as such as 'FADE IN' which will always be in capital letters. Stage directions will be then added after doing this but will be placed against the left margin itself. Under this there will then be the actors direction so for example 'Pat walks up to the counter placing a pack of bourbon biscuits whilst looking at the shopkeeper'. Things such as 'INT' and 'EXT' should always be in capitals. The location is always important on a script as it shows whether your location is inside or outside.
Scripts should always be formatted correctly so that every individual involved in the film making stage can easily read the script. If a script is easy to read then it gives each individual a good understanding of what they need to do. This then allows the filming of the production to run smoothly. A disadvantage of producing a script is the fact that they do take up a lot of time and if you do not format it correctly, it can slow the filming down completely. As each individual such as an actor has to be informed of what the script is telling them to do. This will be another time consuming problem.

Below is an example of a correctly formatted script:

Treatment

A treatment is put in place to create a successful pitch for you idea. Within the treatment there should be:

• Title of your production
• 50-100 word synopsis
• Format e.g video (HD-DV, Digital files, Film)
• Genre- Action, Sci-fi etc.
• Duration of your production
• Style, stylistic elements e.g. handheld
• Narrative Structure, linear, non-linear etc
• Target Audience
• Equipment
• Studio/Location
• People needed
• Time needed
• Costumes and props needed
• Budget
• Health and safety
• Rationale

Treatments are produced so that you can grab the attention of the person you are pitching your idea to. The idea of  a treatment is to grab the persons attention immediately by making them interested in your idea. After reading a treatment the individual you are pitching your idea to should be able to get a feel of what the production is going to be like ,which is why it is so important that you always include a treatment within the pre-production stage. The downfall of  producing a treatment is if you had a good idea and the treatment wasn't that good you more than likely wouldn't have your idea funded. For the pitch to be successful every bullet point above needs to be included to make the your idea sell as well as possible.

Idea Development

Mood Boards

The whole point of having a mood board is so that you can use ideas that already exist and combine them with your ideas, which will eventually lead to you having a new idea of your own. Mood boards exist to show the producers that you have thought about your idea in depth and how you as an individual expect the film to be like. Mood boards are good to have within the first stages of your production as they are a building block to creating an amazing idea. Mood boards can be confusing sometimes with the amount of images on them as the producer may not understand fully what the picture is exactly conveying.

Mind Maps

Mind maps are useful when you are first trying to work out what you want your idea to be. Mind maps are clear and easy to read. Mind maps show the individual stages of the individual developing their idea. If you were to explain your idea using your mind map it could potentially get confusing which could make it more difficult for you to explain the stages of your idea.

Storyboards

Storyboards are used within filming to create a visual aid to the directors so they fully know what the scene is meant to be like so that the filming goes smoothly. Storyboards can show exactly what needs to happen in each scene alongside the script to show a clear picture of the story. The layout of the storyboard is usually pictures and annotations in a comic strip layout to show in detail the description of the scene. Storyboards are a useful thing to have in production as they clearly set out what each scene involves such as the camera angles and the layout. Negatives of producing a storyboard is the fact that it needs to be detailed it is a very time consuming process and you may not have the time to produce a story board accordingly. Although a storyboard is quite detailed it only can convey so much detail through the drawings and the notes. Below is an example of a storyboard layout:
