STORYBOARDS

These are examples of really detailed storyboards.  In the professional world you would be required to complete individual drawings for each and every shot.

TASK:

  • Break the narrative into key scenes i.e. bedroom, park, dancing in flour, escape…
  • Each separate scene becomes one A4 landscape drawing – stick people are fine.
  • Each A4 sheet is annotated with specific shots and descriptions of angles, movement, framing that you want to take and ensure you have when you are shooting that scene. This will ensure you have coverage, a variety of shots and enough footage to be able to convey the narrative.
