Project 3 Storyboards

Storyboards are an essential step in creating really good stories. Often overlooked by story-telling noobs, this process helps to focus the story and develop a sense of flow and rhythm.

Grab a sheet in class or choose one of the Storyboard templates below, fill in the box on the left with a sketch of the scene, then fill out the information on the right for each shot.

Be sure to convert your file into a PDF, PNG, or JPG before submitting.

Explanation:

To complete the Storyboard sheet, fill in the box on the left with a sketch of the scene, then fill out the information on the right for each shot.

• • Either use Google's drawing tools or draw on paper and snap a pic of it to use in the sketch area

Scene/Shot is a numbering system. An example would be 1/1 or 2/1. These refer to scene 1, shot 1, and scene 2, shot 1 respectively. Continue to number as scenes and shots progress. Usually a scene changes when the time or location changes. Shots change when the camera changes.

Type is the type of shot: wide, medium, close up, ultra close, point of view (POV), over the shoulder, etc.

Angle is from which direction the camera is pointing: down, up, right, left, front, and back.

Description refers to what is happening in the scene. Be brief, but be clear.
