The aim of the storyboarding process is twofold:

1 - To ensure that you get all the coverage you need on set to craft a coherent and exciting story in the editing room, and to do so in an economical way, so as to avoid spending time filming unnecessary shots or losing money in video production or special effects.

2- Good storyboards can be supremely useful when directing big action sequences. Drawing out your shot list can be an organizing principle in the cacophony of producing complicated shoots.

There’s a key step between ideation and creation for films, which requires planning out scenes and translating the flow of the project and new ideas from word form to image form. Think of the storyboard as the graphic novelization of your script, where each panel represents a new camera angle or a key moment in the action.

Storyboards become a precise map of what’s almost certain to be a hectic shoot day. You want to get this right.

Therefore, this workshop is gladly made for students who want to learn how to create professional, production-ready storyboards for a film.
