2013 Post 2: Storyboard Drawing, Shot Sizes and Framing

Always introduce each post: What is the examiner looking at? How will it help you in your own production?

 Section A
  1. Your teacher is going to give you information of basic storyboarding techniques. Follow the instructions and draw everything they do carefully and accurately. Remember this is part of your coursework and presentation is important.

  2. Scan you notes (at home if easier), save as a jpeg and insert on your blog under the title: Storyboard Drawing, Shot Sizes and Framing. Make sure you introduce the examiner briefly to what they are looking at.
Section B
  1. Using a digital stills camera take photographs to represent the shot sizes your teacher has illustrated, making sure you pay attention to headroom and walking space.
  2. Insert these onto the blog along side your own drawn images.
  3. Research the "Rule of Thirds" on the internet and create a link from your blog post to the useful Internet pages that you find. (You should be able to see the "link" button on the tool bar when writing your post. If not then you will need to go into your "settings" to get the most up-to-date blog set up. Note: It's near the bottom of the settings page.)
 Section C

  1. In addition to Section B take photographs of your own, or use some you already have to illustrate your understanding of the "Rule of Thirds", some following the rule others breaking it.

  2. Briefly explain each picture (you could do this as a quick sound/video clip), paying particular attention to those pictures that break the rule and if you still like the photograph and why? Can you crop any of the pictures to make them look better? If so show a before and after picture.
