Description
Bring your creative vision to life in our Storyboarding class! You’ll learn how to transform your ideas into detailed storyboards that incorporate shots, scenes, composition, camera movements, and more.
We’ll kick off the class by discussing the necessary tools and materials to gather before you start sketching. Understanding the parameters of visual frames is crucial, so we’ll cover common aspect ratios and how they impact your storyboard layout.
As we delve deeper, you’ll explore the fundamental elements of a storyboard and the different parts of a narrative, including shots, scenes, sequences, and acts. You’ll gain insights into the various types of shots, their functions, and how to effectively indicate them in your storyboard.
Camera movements play a vital role in storytelling, and in this course, you’ll learn the nuances of these movements and how to incorporate them into your visuals. We’ll also examine the impact of different types of cuts, helping you understand their roles and how to indicate them effectively.
Composition is key to engaging storytelling, and you’ll learn the rule of thirds to achieve balance in your shots. We’ll explore depth of field and its significance in directing viewer attention to specific details in your narrative.
You’ll practice using block-ins—quick sketches that help visualize your narrative flow—while considering beats, rhythms, timing, and punchlines. As you refine your storyboard, we’ll guide you through techniques for adding detail and making corrections, ensuring your ideas shine.
Finally, you’ll learn how to add technical instructions to your finished storyboard, providing clarity for the filming process. Join us in this dynamic class and take the first step toward crafting compelling visual stories!
