Storyboarding a short film
3yr
 Smithies 
Hi guys!
Basically my friend is producing and directing a short film approx 5 minutes and has asked me to do the storyboarding for her. I have 0 experience of anything like this - I tend to spend lots of time on one drawing/painting, and have no knowledge of film anything! 
I have until mid September to get it done before filling starts and it's unpaid but I want to do a good job. Is there anything you might recommend I read up on before I get into it or does anyone have any advice for me?
I am planning on doing it digitally, and black and white - is this pretty standard?
Thanks for any advice!
