Storyboarding 101

If you have been drawing characters, situations or studying film and constructing your ideas within a frame and would like to learn the grammar, technique and approach towards building  strong storytelling, this course is a perfect place to start.

With a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of progressing the story through a sequence made of a number of shots you will learn the art of guiding the eye across the screen progressively in this course.

Building and staging a sequence with or without dialogue and expanding or efficiently trimming shots with an editor’s sensibilities gives immense reliability and indispensability to this craft.
