What is a Storyboard • Graphical (visual) representation of the action sequence to create a story • Translates the words of the script to images • Quite similar to a comic strip • Shows the key images of the scene in a sequence i.e. the mis en sene
MIS-EN-SCENE • Literally means "placing on stage“ • Is an expression used to describe the design aspects of a film production, through storyboarding, cinematography and stage direction. • When applied to the cinema, mise-en-scène refers to everything that appears before the camera and its arrangement— composition, sets, props , actors costumes, and lighting. Mise-en-scène also includes the positioning and movement of actors on the set, which is called blocking.
A storyboard will be composed of a series of drawings that depict the mis-en-sene (location, characters, camera angle, props etc) for each shot • Beneath the images will be captions that detail action, lighting, camera direction and basic dialogue
Activity: Look at the storyboard in front of you: • What’s happening in this opening sequence? • How is the narrative flow established? • If you were the director what changes would you make to the storyboard?
