I borrow this book from the library and this is extremely useful and informative. There are chapters about characters, finding ideas, building story and staging etc which is worth referring to later on.
I focus on the chapter on storyboard that is what our team is struggling on and the book explains a lot of rules and instruction when making an efficient storyboard for example reverse shot and over the shoulder.
"There are exceptions to all rules and times when other factors govern one's choices but usually the orientation of even stationary objects in a shot should remain consistent with other adjoining shots. There is nothing to be gained by confusing the audience or breaking the 180-degree rule when the purpose is to tell your story clearly"
Establishing shot is very important to story and to split the shots like below able the story to be told by only the body language and the facial expression that also develop the story in greater details.
I also find this Cross dissolve suitable for our story where it can be useful to show time-lapse and include few shots in a scene. A cross dissolve will show one shot becoming progressively transparent and fading away as it is simultaneously replaced by the next shot fading in.
