Preliminary Exercise 6: Storyboarding Camerawork: Shot Sizes, Camera angles, Framing and Camera Composition Post 1: Day 1

                      Storyboards are essentially blueprints for a film. They're important because it gives directors an idea on what the actors should do, and it also helps building the script and the actions characters will do. A film production is self explanatory, how a movie is made. In this assignment my teammates and I created 16 storyboards, each paper telling their own "stories" using camerawork. Camerawork is the how shots are made in movies. In this my teammates and I used many shot sizes, framing, camera angles, and compositions to make these images.

In this assignment I learned that storyboarding is a bit more complex than drawing doodles for the actors to play out. It takes a little more thinking and thought into how these shots will turn out and creating these storyboards really cemented that idea. My teammates and I really had to look over what these shots, angles, etc. mean and what they look like because it is extremely important and day 1 was pretty much us reading it over and getting everything exact. I worked with Shelton H, Lavelle W, and Myla and we were each responsible to do 1 sheet seeing as though there were 4 sheets and 4 of us. I can now say I am an expert at this and I learned that storyboarding is a bit more complex than meets the eye.
