In this lesson, a previous media student and animatic storyboarder came in. She helped us with storyboarding and gave us some really helpful tips on what to include and what not to include.
I have learnt that when making a storyboard, you should use a big arrow to show movement of the camera and small arrows to indicate characters movement. The three tips she gave us were:
1. Bullet point and plan before you storyboard because this way you're organised and know what you're meant to drawing.
2.Don't worry about drawing them in order, and use scrap paper to sketch things out before if you're unsure as you can always cut them out and order them after the storyboard is complete
3.Remember the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is where the screen/box is made up of three sections. If you want a character to be noticed then always place them in the middle, if you want to show that they're unimportant then place them in the margin
This lesson has helped me a lot and talking to Sophie has helped me understand how to place things on a storyboard and how to draw different angles. I think a very important lesson I learnt was the rule of thirds.
This is the video Sophie- The previous media student showed us. This was really interesting and I thought it was very clever how it was drawn and put together. Obviously our storyboards won't be as detailed or as advanced as this because this is animatic but this has given us an idea on how to draw certain angles and given us an insight into animatic storyboarding.
