Creating a Storyboard
What is a storyboard? Once a concept or script is written for a film, the next step is to make a storyboard. A storyboard visually tells the story of an animation panel by panel, kind of like a comic book. Why make a storyboard? Creating a storyboard will help you plan your production out shot by shot. You can make changes to your storyboard before you start filming, instead of changing your mind later. You will also be able to talk about your production and show your storyboard to other people to get feedback on your ideas. How do I make a storyboard? Most commonly, storyboards are drawn in pen or pencil. If you don't like to draw you can also take photos, cut out pictures from magazines, or use a computer to make your storyboards. Keep in mind that your drawings don't have to be fancy! In fact, you want to spend just a few minutes drawing each frame. Use basic shapes, stick figures, and simple backgrounds. |
Frames | TIMECODESIn film, video production, animation, and related fields, a frame is one of the many still images which compose the complete "moving picture". The frame rate, the rate at which sequential frames are presented, varies according to the video standard in us. The NTCS (National Television System Committee) broadcast standard, used in North America, Canada and Japan, is 30 frames per second. Most video is shot at 30 fps.
