Before even going out to shoot, itʻs crucial to have a plan first. If you can visualize your shots, youʻll have an idea of how the shots fit together. It helps you communicate with the rest of your crew and save lots of time.
We will use the different shot types to do a storyboard of a childrenʻs story called “Pinkiliscious.” The requirements are:
1. Use all 7 different shot types as well as the OTS & profile atleast once. You can use them as many times as you want!
2. Make sure your story has a beginning, middle, & end. But you can choose which details you want to show.
3. No stick figures. People must have mass. They can be blobs or gingerbread people.
4. No speech/dialog bubbles. Any important dialog can be written in the description below each frame.
5. Use a variety of shots. Donʻt use the same shots over and over . . . so you donʻt want WS to WS to WS. Instead go from a WS to a MS to a CU for instance.
