Once a concept/script is written, a storyboard is then made. It visually tells the story of a specific scene shot by shot, like a comic book.
What goes into a storyboard?
A storyboard should contain:
- What characters are in the frame, and how are they moving?
- What are the characters saying to each other?
- How much time has passed between the last frame of the storyboard and the current one?
- Where is the camera in the scene?
- What sounds can be heard in the frame?
Creating a storyboard will help you plan your footage shot by shot. Changes can be made to your storyboard prior to filming, and this helps stop your mind from changing later on. You can also talk about your film, and get feedback on your ideas.
How do I make a storyboard?
Storyboards tend to be drawn in pen and pencil. It isn't necessary, however, as you can also take photos, cut out pictures from magazines, or use a computer program to make and develop your storyboards. Your drawings can be simple, as long as they contain enough infomation about the shot. Use basic images, stick figures, and simple backgrounds. You can cut out your shot cards, and rearrange them to create different sections of film.
