Alfred Hitchcock once said that he planned out every detail of a film in the storyboard, so much so that shooting the movie was the boring bit!
Storyboarding remains the filmmaker's bible, a vital first bridging of the gap between script and production, an indispensable reference point for directors, set designers, lighting technicians, camera operators and actors.

Course programme
Using short exercises, the course initially concentrates on the basic process of telling stories using sequential images. Participants - as a group - will informally analyse and discuss each other's storyboards and learn the fundamentals together.
Subsequent exercises and presentations will introduce important technical information (the fundamentals of film grammar and cinematic storytelling, narrative pacing, scene-setting, depicting camera moves, lighting set-ups, lenses, etc.) equipping participants with the skills to work with a section of a provided film script to produce a finished sequence.
The final exercise will be shaped by the participants themselves and is an opportunity for them to concentrate on the elements of storyboarding that are personally most relevant to their needs.
By the end of the course participants should have gained invaluable knowledge of script visualisation and the processes involved in completing a professional storyboard.
Please note: This course is for students aged 18 and older.
