Storyboards and Planning

When storyboarding, consider whether each part of your storyboard is a scene or a specific shot;
Scenes (e.g. a group of people walking into a room) need to be broken down into shots
e.g. mid-shot from directly in front of door
close up of faces from side
high angle shot from behind, looking over shoulders and showing room
This creates a shot-list, which can be written and linked to each numbered scene.

You can then organise each scene (and shots) by setting to produce a list of which scenes you will film in any 1 setting. This will help ensure you use your filming time efficiently.

This can then be broken down into the actors and props you will need for each scene, again helping to ensure superb planning.
