About the Book
Storyboarding is an essential step in the creative process of making a film, and can be used to experiment with camera angles, movement and compositional elements before incurring the cost of production. This book demonstrates that visual storytelling is a skill that can be learned by everyone and how it will enhance your skills in translating your story ideas into a series of meaningful images.
Topics discussed include:
* step-by-step journey into the pre-visualization process
* breaking down the script into shot lists
* using overhead diagrams to block out shots
* creating usable drawings for film frames that collaborators can easily understand
