Storyboarding

The point of storyboarding… "The storyboard for me is the way to visualise the entire movie in advance” "Storyboards express what I want to communicate, they show how I would imagine a scene and how it should move to the next. My storyboards are absolutely essential for my team meetings.“ The point of storyboarding… Martin Scorsese, the Oscar winning director of The Departed (2006) and Taxi Driver (1976).

Three ingredients of a storyboard 1. Framing Height (e.g., WIDE, FULL, CLOSE) 2. Camera Angle (e.g., eye-level, BIRD'S EYE VIEW, HIGH HAT, and DUTCH) 3. Movement (e.g., static, PAN, TILT, CRANE, PUSH/PULL, ZOOM)
