I hate using storyboards. I find that they limit the ability to use the scene to adapt to the scene and create a new vision. But it's not impossible to adapt with storyboards, and while we shot our opening, we needed to do just that. We had to make a few on the spot decisions, and I'll use this blog post to detail what we had to adapt to and what we did.
Minor Issues:
The camera we had brought to film was not working so we swapped to filming on an iPhone.
Continuity:
During the shoot, one of our hecklers needed to leave, so we had him drop the Monster can we had him hold and walk away. A hilarious thing he did was scratch his butt for comedic effect, but I cut a little early and we did not have time to retake so we had to settle for what we had. We also asked for a few people around who weren't busy if they would mind being in our small ensemble and so we had them in there and whenever they needed to go, they'd leave either bored at the show or scared of the crowd. All this was to maintain continuity as we had our final shot with the entire crowd showing and we needed to shoot chronologically for proper lighting.
We have not fully finished shooting the video so I might likely update this with details from our second shoot.
