Storyboard Research

Welcome back! Today, I will present some storyboard research! After that, I will present our storyboard for our main product!

WHAT IS A STORYBOARD?

As its definition, a storyboard is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a film. In which are laid like this:



Within this, you can see that titles are also designed within the storyboard in which also contains the transitions to which it will utilise. Furthermore, time frames are also noted for each of these scenes.

EXAMPLE OF A STORYBOARD
So, let's look at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, in particular the scene in which Nagini, Voldemorts snake, attacks Harry.



As you can see, the storyboard contains a description of the shot and a transition between each box.



Now let's compare it to the actual scene! Starts around (2:25) 

The actual scene contains Harry standing up with a chair in his hands as Nagini is revealed. Nagini does strike the chair as shown in box 'B' as well as a direct cut back to Nagini when she strikes again and forces Harry into another room. To conclude, the storyboard does not match the actual scene completely.

Next time: I will conduct animatic research! See you then!
