Who
Should Attend:
This
Continuing Education Workshop is exclusively for Cinematographers, Directors,
and Producers. "A must-have skill for every director." Filmmakers,
videographers, and digital storytellers are encouraged to attend.
Program
Details:
The
importance of pre-vis with storyboards before the first
shot is taken. Storyboarding chrystalizes the continuity of the plot line
and, convinces the tech crew and the actors that the director is thoroughly
prepared having, 'a la Hitchcock', visualized the script beforehand.
Large
blank storyboard forms will be handed out to participants.
Even before
directors makes their storyboard sketches – which can be very simply
drawn – they must be aware of professional design/compositional
factors that make up the images chosen for script continuity. These images
to be captured on film, within each framed shot should contain the following
design elements listed below.
Design
Elements to Look for Within the Storyboard Film Frame:
(A.)
Keeping the composition or design elements/images drawn within the storyboard
frames simple yet graphically dynamic.
(B.) To help visualize story elements the director must
think in 3 dimensions. Visualize the action in an ‘in-depth’
context, this 3D visual space involves the following
professional points:
(1.)
Separating the image/storyboard frame, into FGD, MDG,
and BKD space, using to advantage one-point perspective and its
vanishing point. These points will be illustrated on blackboard.
(2.)
Receding planes / depth of field.
(3.)
Lighting sources that give dimension to shaded figures.
(4.)
The Golden Proportion knowledge of the principle
of thirds/golden, i.e. dividing the film frame into 2/3, 1/3 proportions,
vertically and horizontally.
(5.)
Being aware of the Center of Interest in your
film frame. (What area do you want the viewer to concentrate on?)
(6.)
Use of strong compositional devices such as the Pyramid, the
Cone, the use of Curvilinear Lines to frame Center of Interest.
(7.)
Follow the 5th Line. (4 Lines Compose the Frame.)
* The 5th line design factor leads the audience to the
* Chosen center of interest / action.
