Discover the tricks to creating dynamic storyboards with these helpful tips from Dreamworks.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Storyboards are an extremely useful tool to have in the pre-production process. Simply put, storyboards are comic-like drawings used to show shot layouts and composition<\/strong>. Big budget features have artists specifically hired to make storyboards for the film, but most indie-filmmakers have to do the job themselves.<\/p>\n

If your drawing skills are anything like mine, your storyboards probably look like they were drawn by a kindergartener<\/strong>. But what if we could make storyboards just as good as the pros?<\/p>\n

The following tips were created by Dreamworks<\/strong> as a style guide for their storyboard artists. Although these tips are intended to be used for animation, the concepts still apply to\u00a0live-action film<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Avoid flat staging unless when necessary.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you aren’t already familiar, flat staging is a picture that is void of 3D perspective<\/strong>. A flat image isn’t very engaging and thus makes for an uninteresting storyboard. However, if you’re wanting to get a shot like Wes Anderson God’s eye view<\/em>, than flat staging might be the way to go.<\/p>\n

2. Lay down grids to help “ground” your characters and compositions.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ground grids help develop a sense of space and camera position. Without grids\u00a0it can be hard to tell where the figures are standing in the scene.<\/p>\n

3. Use foreground, mid-ground, background & far<\/em> background to sell depth.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep in mind what elements may take up the foreground and background of a shot (walls, trees, etc). Just like a well composed shot, a storyboard needs to have elements at different distances<\/strong> in order to sell depth.<\/p>\n

4. When dealing with multiple characters try to logically group them to help make cutting back and forth easier.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It can be rather difficult to shoot more than two people talking to each other at the same time. Dreamworks recommends grouping up people to make choosing cuts<\/strong> easier.<\/p>\n

5. Be wary of composition in which everything is parallel to the frame.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Having objects parallel to the frame makes for a very uninteresting<\/strong> shot. Try offsetting the background to add depth.<\/p>\n

6. Careful of how you frame characters…don’t squeeze them just to fit a shot.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This goes down to simple basics drawing. Just like with a video shot, the empty space<\/strong> is just as important as the space that’s filled. Don’t feel the need to fill-up and crowd every part of the frame.<\/p>\n

7. Over-the-shoulder shots & reaction shots help deliver dialog.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Dirty” shots help to give the scene a sense of intimacy<\/strong> or even hostility, making the dialogue seem more important.<\/p>\n

8. Characters squared off & looking at our left or right ear.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Characters looking directly at the camera can make the audience feel awkward. While this can be used to a filmmakers advantage, Dreamworks wants their characters to be as inviting as possible.<\/p>\n

9. Exploit different character heights, if you need to establish or re-establish your shot.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As any Film 101 course will tell you, camera angles tell the audience a lot about how they are supposed to feel about a character. High angles imply weakness<\/strong> and fear, low angles imply power<\/strong> and dominance. Cutting to different character heights can remind the audience how to feel about certain characters.<\/p>\n

10. Motivate your cuts.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just like in editing, your storyboards need to show the motivation<\/strong> for cuts. This can be written sound effects, heads turning, movements, etc.<\/p>\n

All these images were first shared by\u00a0Ben Caldwell\u00a0on his blog<\/a>. You can download full-page prints of the storyboards from his story\/design notes<\/a> post.<\/em><\/p>\n
