Storyboard Background-Information Styles, Tipps and Methods
Storyboard Background-Information Styles, Tipps and Methods By Saskia Petrenz [email protected] Contents Introduction 3 Mindset of the storyboards artist: Who he is and what he does 4 Storyboard Styles 6 Work-Flow 8 Composition 11 Lighting and Color 12 Tips/Methods 15 Dictionary 17 Questionnaire 18 Sources 19 2 Introduction This paper will give a general overview about storyboards, information about different styles of storyboards and how to use them. The mindset of a storyboard artist and his work-flow will also be explained. Additionally composition and the use of light in storyboards will be explained as well as some handy tips and tricks. At the end a dictionary lists eventually necessary technical terms. What is a storyboard? A storyboard is a suggestion. It gives a possible basic setup for a scene including general camera setups and lighting. It allows advance organization, frame by frame and shot by shot what is going to be happening dur- ing shooting. The function of a storyboard is to indicate and illustrate all shots needed for the final product. It does this by pre-visualizing the written word (screenplay) and its structure. Also any visual effect will be indi- cated in the storyboard, this means that modern Special Effects Films are more demanding on storyboards. A storyboard serves the visual needs of the director of photography and special effects team. The director and director of photography will go over the storyboard to decide on the needed cameras/ lenses/filters/lighting equipment etc. Also the producer, director, cinematographer and production designer will want to see visuals and illustrated SFX (Special Effects) to estimate cost, the set up for shots and decide on cameras, lighting and framing.
