Preliminary Exercise 7: Storyboarding Camerawork: Shot Sizes, Camera angles, Framing and Camera Composition Post 1: Day 2

 Introduction

Whether you're a fledgling filmmaker or a casual moviegoer, storyboarding is a crucial part of the filmmaking process. It's where you can picture what you want to create and see how your tale can come alive on the big screen. Though, while it may seem to be a lot of work, believe me when I say it's worth it! So, let's get started and evaluate what skills are necessary to construct a storyboard.

In order to begin, you must conduct study on real-world film production. You don't need to be an expert, but you should have a fundamental awareness of the many techniques employed, such as camera angles, lighting, costuming, and production design. 

In order to begin, you must conduct study on real-world film production. You don't need to be an expert, but you should have a fundamental awareness of the many techniques employed, such as camera angles, lighting, costuming, and production design. Once you've established your framework, you can begin picturing your story. Sketch out every scenario in rough layout, and don't be reluctant to experiment with various viewpoints. Keep in mind this is your opportunity to ensure that your storyboard truly expresses your vision.

Now it's time to get into the technical aspects of storyboarding - the camerawork methods that will bring your idea to life. Shot sizes, camera angles, framing, and composition will all be covered. Think about the size of the frame, the camera's position relative to the subject, and the way the subject appears within the frame. This is when your artistic sense comes in. These techniques can be utilized to add depth, movement, and texture to your film, therefore consider taking advantage of them to make it stand out.
