Storyboarding and Film
Posted by danielnhs11 on April 15, 2009
In the film about storyboarding, Matthew Needleman talks about some necessities in making a short film. The first rule is to plan and draw out your picture first. Then after you have the picture drawn, you can draw a box representing your frame to show what you’re actually shooting. This way you have more to choose from rather than the entire picture. Also, the rule of thirds is important. The most boring shot is actually when the subject is in the direct middle of the screen. Instead, you should put the people, or subject into an intersection of basically a tic-tac-toe board on the screen. This creates more interesting angles. One more thing is always remember to move the camera around. You can make better shots by making high angles and low angles and zooming in and out.
