Brainstorming and Storyboarding
BRAINSTORMING
As you now are reaching the creativity phase of your first project, here is what you need to be accomplishing:
1. Ideas for your Movie Trailer - If anything has popped into your mind when considering your Movie Trailer, prepare to write it down immediately. Don't ever hesitate when working the creative process. Hesitation is your creativity's worst enemy. It creates doubt.
2. Write those ideas down on your "Brain Paper". It doesn't matter what comes to mind, just WRITE IT DOWN!!!!
• Use as much paper as you need, but you MUST fill out a MINIMUM of one side of blank white paper.
• Include WHO might star in your film. (Friends, family, drama students?
• WHERE you could film to establish the most realistic and convincing environment for each of your scenes.
• WHEN could you film? Weekends? After school? Lunch? STAR?
Your "Brain Paper" is due on Monday at the beginning of class.
STORYBOARDING
• Always remember that the storyboard is not the end product itself. Students should not waste time making the storyboard perfect. Stick figures, circles, boxes, and other substitutes for figures or objects are fine for storyboards.
• It is important to note also that everything should be done in pencil for ease of editing the storyboard.
• Every scene contained in the storyboard should somehow contribute to the message/purpose of the video. It the scene doesn’t contribute anything, omit it.
• Storyboards depict major scenes. They are not a frame-by-frame recreation of the videotape.
Give Your Shot Selection Purpose
• Close-ups used to show details, expressions/emotions
• Medium shots usually involve one or two people at fairly close range; used to show interaction
• Long shots are used to set the scene and let the audience know where the action is taking place
Underneath each "Shot Square" on your Storyboard indicate what type of camera framing or angle might be best. Then, very briefly describe what is happening, and/or who is talking.
Your Storyboard is due by the end of class on Tuesday.
