Storyboarding Mrs. Wilson Sports & Entertainment Marketing

Storyboarding? Storyboarding is the process of producing sketches of the shots of your script. The end result looks like book of your film (without the speech bubbles).

A storyboard helps you: Define the parameters of a story within available resources and time Organize and focus a story Figure out what medium to use for each part of the story

Why do it? It helps you think about how your film is going to look. You can work faster on set and as pictures communicate better than words it will allow your camera crew and producers to foresee problems Even the actors will get a feel of what they are going to be shooting!

So I need to be an artist? Well you can be, but looking at storyboards by Hitchcock or Spielberg you have to admit that they can't draw. There are professional storyboard artists that can give you results that look better than the final film. However its a good idea to bash them out yourself, it allows you to experiment quickly and cheaply, testing out different versions of how a scene may look and play on camera.
