Storyboard
Movie: Corpse Bride (2005)
Story boarding is a creative way to make an outline of what the final product of a film would look like. I learned how it will describe components that each shot of a scene will have in order for the shot to add depth to the film. You can create a rough sketch of what the shot will entail. Then you can provide a description of key aspects of that shot. For example, what kind of camera transition there will be, sound effects/dialogue/background noise, camera movement, and overall visual characteristics. Story board is an innovative process to break down and analyze singular shots to create one scene.
In story boarding you do not have to be an expert artist of any kind. You just need a rough sketch of how you visualize a scene to look like. Nevertheless, it is imperative to have a detailed description on the side to put into words what is image is supposed to be conjured up in the shot. You can include several aspects of that scene that could not be put into one’s artistic expression. Furthermore, there are some challenging aspects that can come to play in story boarding. For example, it can be difficult to sketch camera movement such as a zoom in or whip pan. You may remedy this by utilizing arrows to indicate ultimately how the camera will move throughout the screen.
For my storyboard, I decided to do the ending scene of the Corpse Bride. For the most part, it was pretty enjoyable to create this storyboard as the visuals and the context behind this scene is something that I find visually and emotionally appealing. This 2 minute clip used a variety of camera techniques and shots that were a bit difficult to be able to portray just by a rough sketch. For example, there was a zoom in onto Emily (the corpse) that I did have difficulty into showing how the camera moved in that particular shot. However, I figured out how to visualize that and also put a description of it too. This ending scene in the corpse bride was for the most part continuous, slow, and serene rather than being dynamic and portraying a lot of dramatic editing, which ultimately made my storyboard much for easy to follow and draw.
