The skill of visual storytelling though storyboarding is a hugely valuable, sought-after ability. It has broad application across animation, VFX and live action film, TV and TVC production. In this two-day workshop you will be introduced to the skills required to effectively translate a script – or a treatment – into a clear and comprehensive visual story (storyboard).
The course will cover, in very broad strokes, composition, shot flow, screen direction, camera placement and the importance of film language, sound effects and music during storyboarding. Also included are insights into where the storyboard artists fit into the contemporary industry and where there are opportunities for career development. It will also give an insight into how storyboarding and its application is a valuable addition to the professional development of directors and visual storytelling professionals and how screenwriters can benefit from an understanding of storyboarding as a tool for lean story development and pitching.
