Overview
About the course
Storyboarding remains the filmmaker's bible, a vital first bridging of the gap between script and production, an indispensable reference point for directors, set designers, lighting technicians, camera operators and actors.
By the end of the Storyboarding for Film, Video and Animation course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) participants should have gained invaluable knowledge of script visualisation and the processes involved in completing a professional storyboard.
Programme Structure
Topics covered:- Using short exercises, the course initially concentrates on the basic process of telling stories using sequential images. Participants - as a group - will informally analyse and discuss each other's storyboards and learn the fundamentals together.
- Subsequent exercises and presentations will introduce important technical information (the fundamentals of film grammar and cinematic storytelling, narrative pacing, scene-setting, depicting camera moves, lighting set-ups, lenses, etc.) equipping participants with the skills to work with a section of a provided film script to produce a finished sequence.
- The final exercise will be shaped by the participants themselves and is an opportunity for them to concentrate on the elements of storyboarding that are personally most relevant to their needs.
