Interesting cutting techniques & storyboarding

In our media lesson today we were all discusing the storyboarding of our opening sequence. After coming up with a solid base, we set about all creating our own ideas for the storyboard. This will enable us to pick out the best of everyones ideas to help make our final storyboard.

We were also talking about ways of cutting and mixing two shots together and we came up with an idea of slowly zooming into one door and then cutting to the outside of another door as it is opening. Kind of merging the two shots to make them flow better.
I saw another good example of this in Channel 4's Hollyoaks earlier- A woman lifted up a magazine to her face just at the endof the shot and then this cut to a completely different woman, with the camera on a close up of the same magazaine just as she is lowering it so we see her face.
