The director of the production studio was actively drawing something on a piece of paper. Circles, dashes and some other waves.

— The main character will sit here and drink a cocktail. Youth will be dancing behind her.
He has finished his sketches, and once again he asked colleagues:
— Now you understand how we will shoot this frame?

 

We rarely show our first storyboard picture to Customers. It is created in a very minimalistic style and these dashes, circles and waves can only be deciphered by the experts of the Divaki Production crew: the location of the characters, size, angle, type of the location.

A storyboard is a graphic illustrations for a future video, an image of a plot, using a sequence of the key frames.

The key frames are frames that reflect a change in plan or action. All other frames between them are called intermediate.

A carefully designed storyboard is a working diagram of a future video and offers various schemes, even drawings and blueprints, depicting frames, places, camera movements, and sound instructions (noise, music, voice-overs, dialogs, etc.).

This kind of the script helps to see the overall picture of the whole story and take into account the details of each of the crew members as much as possible.

Depending on the task, genre and style of the video, the director’s storyboard of the future video may look different:

Text storyboard. In the script, the scene visualization is written by words. For example, “A character with a logo on a jacket takes a phone from his pocket and speaks. He is angry. Clouds with the inscriptions “!!!””???” “…” jump from the character )

Schematic storyboard is drawn in pencil on paper.

Detailed storyboard scenes are drawn in graphic programs.

 

If you are preparing to shoot a simple interview or video report, you do not need a storyboard. Maximum – sketches on a piece of paper that will show where to place the cameras and light 😉
