Story Boarding

Storyboarding: The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

    Welcome back audience! Today we will be immersing ourselves in the importance of story boarding. Story boarding is an essential part in the process of films, presentations, and overall story telling. Story boarding serves as a blueprint in order to plan out a series of events. Throughout this process, I learned the ways of story boarding and have come to appreciate the process. Within this blog, I will evaluate what I have learned, the importance, and what I found challenging about story boarding!

    To start off, I found it interesting that filmmakers not only needed to write but sketch a plan before executing it. Story boarding utilizes the sequence of images along with descriptions to represent the shots of the actual film. I have learned that it helps in shifting abstract ideas into a visual format, which allows filmmakers to edit and fix before executing the actual film. Also allowing for the experimenting of different angles, shots, and movements. Furthermore, the importance of story boarding should not be underestimated. It is time and cost efficient in which it prepares the plan beforehand. It also serves as a communication tool for directors, as they will be able to work together efficiently with the usage of sketches. Moving forward, although story boarding essentially allows a smoother film process, there are a few challenges that follow! During the sketching process, it can be very time consuming, creating these plans requires intricate descriptions. Although artistic capabilities may not be required for a fantastic story board, it could act as a disability when sketching!

    In conclusion, story boarding serves as an essential part in the creative processes of film! It brings out clarity and efficiency. Despite the slight challenges, I believe this blue print procedure is crucial. Embracing this process can really bring out the best in films, in allowing the correct shots and more!
