Storyboards

I found storyboarding a useful tool for devising, planning and scripting moving image.
It is used in the animation industry so is something that I want to get familiar with.
I tried to use a variety of Points of View and camera angles, which made the (often quite dull) sequences more dynamic and interesting.
I'll use storyboarding to structure my moving pictures sting before I take it to After Effects because this will save me a lot of time and effort on the screen.

Fred's storyboarding session today built on these techniques. He demonstrated with Kyle's storyboards that you can create an illusion of depth on a flat screen by layering assets (e.g. background/foreground).
We were challenged to think beyond the frame and consider how things move INTO/OFF the frame.
We also discussed pace and tension.
