SLENT MOVIE - Storyboarding

Storyboarding is essentially design for screen, before screen. Preproduction.

Storyboards - scrappy sketches, notes, not drawings - quality, rough

If your thinking or talking about and idea you should be drawing it

doesn't have to be a strict sequence - can contain options/variations - big and small thumbnails

Abbreviated versions of flick books - key frames - pre-visualising

Annotations using arrows, directional points

Systematic increase in the information in between each frame/key frame

mid production - screenshots - screen grabs - screen dumps

Good for feedback during production - if the client wants to see your progress or crit your work.

For next tuesday, come up with 5 ideas to work with. Then produce 5 animated sequences for each idea which are variations of how you can carry out each idea. Each sequence must be 5 frames long.

You must use the whole word for this task.

Along with this you must bring a set of 25 screen grabs (post stamp size) of a Kinetic Type video. The screen grabs must but equally space apart throughout the video.
