Storyboard

What I’ve learned about storyboarding is that it is a process in which frames of a movie are drawn in precise detail to show the exact way it is meant to be shot, down to the lighting and angles. If the drawings done do not fulfill the exact representation of the shot, the storyboards can include notes that talk about what kind of shot is best used to give as much information as possible and even music choice meant to show suspense or triumph. In storyboarding, the thing that I find to be the most important is the detail of the drawings. The task of storyboarding is typically left to people who are talented artists, capable of bringing out the most effective feelings that are to be in the shot. I also believe that minute details such as shadows and the emotions shown by the actors are very important, because if everything down to excellent precision isn’t followed, then the scene loses its impact. Some challenges in storyboarding could be trying to bring out the emotion desired by the director in just an illustration. People who are less artistically inclined could have trouble showing the magnitude of a scene and rely mostly on notes and verbal description. So to conclude, storyboards are drawing showing how a scene is meant to be filmed as per the directors vision, and can help to elevate a scene with small details that would otherwise bring it down.
