What is storyboarding?

Storyboarding is a way to see how an animation or scene is going to look before you actually create it. Free software exists for storyboarding such as storyboarder by wonder unit.

There are many different ways you can look at a scene:

• Medium shot – facial expressions / body language / environment
• Wide shot – Frames the subject while capturing the environments
• Established shot – Establishes location and action
• 2 shot- has 2 people in the shot
• Extreme long shot – Shows where it is based
• Close up – captures facial expressions
• High angle shot – makes them look small and weak
• Extreme close up – used in films, focuses on a small part, shows details
• Low angle – Makes the subject superior and makes them larger
• Over the shoulder – Makes it look like we are the person in the conversation
• Aerial shot – shot from the air used to establish a location
