Storyboard

I decided to create a story board as I thought that this would give me a clear idea of what my final production will look like and therefore what I will need to film in order to get it completed on time. I've spoken to Birmingham children's hospital who say that they'd be happy for me to film the liver consultant during the holidays, they just need to confirm a date for when they are free, they also informed me that there may be a child with auto immune liver disease who would be happy to take part, although I am well aware that I will need their parents permission first. This story board has been created as if the child is in it and can definitely take part and be filmed. I haven't been told the patients name yet, so in my story board I've just named them as A.
