Famous Storyboards

+

The storyboards that I have selected are illustrated by famous storyboard artists. I chose to pick these specific storyboards as I am more familiar with these films. When analysing these storyboards, I will mention the different features included and how some of these features may help me create my storyboard.

As I our genre is thriller and drama, I will be analysing different films from these genres.

+ Being a popular Marvel film, Spider-man has been illustrated quite well.

The different shades of pencil sketches help outline the effect of each scenes. Each detail emphasises on how dramatic the scene need to be.

Using arrows help the directors to assist the actors on which way to move or face. This can be helpful as it makes it easier for the scene to be set out in a clear way and flow easily.

The use of words encourage the scene to be more energetic and exaggerates on the impact of the scene.

+ The eyes are point towards the passenger. This shows that the simplest form, such as eye contact is important. It allows there to be an emphasis on the emotions of the character at the time. In this scene the creature looks curious or alert of what is taking place outside of the spaceship.

Each scene is filled with detail, which is important to show as it helps the manufactures to create a real model of each spaceship. Without the amounts of detail, it would be difficult to make appropriate items to fit the scene.

Although there is no specific colour attached to the images, it means that there is no restrictions to the colour. However, as it is shaded it means that the colours must be dark to match the night represented.

There is a small outline of what is happening in each scene. This makes it slightly easier to further explain what is happening in the scene? This will be useful to use in my storyboard, as I will have an opportunity to quickly explain what is taking place in the scene.

+ The characters have a darker shade than the flags at the back. The different shades show that the scene is solely focused on the two men. Therefore, having the flags in a different shade allows the director to focus less on the additions of the scene and only pay attention to the two characters. The facial expressions are

shown in great depth. This helps the character to have a clear idea of what their emotions should be at the time of the scene.

A variety of camera shots is represented through close ups and long shot, this is sincerely important as it makes it clear to the director on what shots to use at each specific scene.

+

Arrows seem to be a feature which is important in most action films. The intensity of the fighting is represented through the arrows. The direction in which the arrows are pointing seem to be useful, as it helps the characters and directors to have control of the scene.

The quick sketch of the roads and buildings, emphasis on the speed of the scene.

The posture of the character is also sketched specifically according to the impact of the scene. This is specifically helpful to the character as they have a rough idea on how they should position. In my opinion it seems

important to have at least a little description of the scene. This makes it easier for the scenes to be simplified.

+

The reflection of the eyes are suspicious and show curiosity. By illustrating this scene on the storyboard, allows the characters to focus on the intensity of the scene.

Again the arrows show that the direction of the scene is important. Using these make it easier for the scene to be set and filmed.

Different shades for the setting outlines the age of the place, for example the ‘hut’ behind the car is shaded awkwardly to emphasis on it being broken and old. Having a small

description is also known to be appropriate and best for making it easier for the crew to set up the setting.

+

This storyboard is completely different to every other storyboard that I have analysed. It has no words nor arrows to direct the actors and their positioning in the scene.

There are extreme close ups of the shower curtain, which instantly creates a suspense to the moment.

The shots which solely focus on the woman represent the danger she may be in. The sketches in the storyboard portray this perfectly as it helps bring intensity to the scene.

Having a variety of camera shots is important as there is a range to use, this alone allows the scene to be serious and have an effect on the audience.
