Today I had a workshop with Richard Allen in which he talked to us about creating storyboards, how they are made for movies and the different styles and angles that can be used in shots.
He started off by showing us different storyboards that were used for scenes in films, and showed these scenes alongside to allow us to make comparisons and understand how the angles and movements shown in the sketches were brought to life when the scene was filmed.
This is a storyboard from Gladiator. I thought this was a particularly memorable storyboard example as I love how the drawings are emerging from the frames to show the movement within.
The first exercise that Richard gave us involved working in groups of 3, and illustrating one frame each of a dog greeting it's owner as she sits at the table. The first frame showed the dog entering the room, the second showed the woman looking at the dog, and the final frame showed the dog wagging it's tail. I was chosen to do the 3rd frame, but for the sake of documenting the task I drew all 3 once the task was over.
I feel like I portrayed the feelings of the dog perfectly and I feel like I got the angle of the shot correct.
The next task was to create an 8 frame storyboard using a worksheet that Richard provided. He wanted us to put all of our new knowledge to use and create a storyboard utilising the use of angles and perspective. I chose to portray a scene that I will be illustrating for my final piece in this project; the scene in which Haroun meets the Hoopoe bird.
