Early Storyboards

 Part of the writing process for making a film is creating something called a storyboard. Storyboards are the key points of motion in the film.

 They look something like this:

 Individual shots are laid out and then we show how the camera moves and how the characters move within the camera so that we know what kind kind of shot will be needed. There is also a bit of the script and a description of the action on the side, in case it was too subtle in the actual board (it's also good for those who don't read visuals as well as they do words). 

It can be a long arduous process. In fact these two shots above aren't even the full first scene. which is my goal for the rest of today.

Hey, have I mentioned in this blog that I'm not a big fan of the Blogger interface? Part of me wishes it was like Word and that I could just format the pictures wherever... If someone knows how to do that better than this, let me know?
