Project 16 is about transforming the writing script into a drawn storyboard. It must have a title. Because it illustrates an event that happens in real time, the frames must be numbered and organized in an order. Each frame must have a description, that describes camera movements, Camera position, camera angle. The descriptions also provides the place and environment, example interior, verses exterior. Audio is described in words as well. Anything to advance the story. The Text and drawing work together to provide the production everything they need to know about the scene. A thumbnail board is small, example 1.75x3 inches ( hd format ). Your board must fit in a 14x17 page.
