Storyboarding and Angles The short tutorial video project Part 3
Storyboarding • Storyboards are graphic organizers in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence.
When do we use a storyboard? • You will make a story board for each scene change or for each camera angle change. • The story board is used to make not of the angel change and the characters in it.
Camera Angles • Camera angles are used to give your video a certain type of feeling or to convey different types of emotions. • There are a wide variety of camera angles to choose from, ranging from long shot to extreme close up and everything in between. • http://www.mediaknowall.com/camangles.html
What do I need to know before I film… • There are three important factors to consider when deciding on camera angles. They are; • The framing or length of the shot, • The Angle of the shot, • If there is any movement involved.
Framing • Extreme long shot – taken from a distance, known as an establishing shot. • Long shot – shows a « full body image » of the character in the shot, a full shot. • Medium shot – shows character from waist up, used in dialogue scenes. • Close up – getting closer – head shot • Extreme close – focuses on one aspect of the character.
Camera Angles • The Bird’s eye view – Directly from overhead • High angle – Camera is elevated above the action of the shot • Eye level – positioned as if the camera is a real person. • Low angle – used to increase the height of the character – also creates confusion for the viewer • Oblique/Canted – camera is not horizontal to the floor.
Movements • Pans – Scan through the scene horizontally • Tilts – Scan through the scene vertically • Dolly shots – camera moves with the character or object. • Hand-held shots – think home movies • Zoom lenses – magnification of the image from a distance – not recommended
Today’s task • Create your storyboard that outlines and details each scene of your film. Include the framing, camera angle and any movements the shot might need. • Intent: to have a better visual representation of your video before you start filming it. • Criteria : you know you are done when you can show me your completed storyboard and explain in your own words how you completed it.
