Storyboarding Essentials (Rousseau/Phillips)

I've also looked into 'Storyboarding Essentials' in order to understand storyboarding in preproduction a little clearer, and follow any hints or formats that may prove useful.

(The following are the beginning of notes)


Something that caught my attention was the use of greyscale, the book describes the effectiveness of this (and to an extent how to do this) in a little detail. It mainly describes it's importance in signifying depth in a panel. This is something I would like to convey easily, and if greyscale can achieve this (rather than worrying too much about perspective) then it's something I will attempt when creating our 'cleaned up' version of the storyboard for our short film. As I am also helping Tom with the filming/cinematography during the shoot, I feel that the storyboards should be clear and offer camera direction/angle etc that we can work from, in order to be efficient and effective. This will also allow an element of choice with the team, we can discuss the flow of the film etc before shooting it, therefore being more prepared during the shoot.

'The one important requirement is that the panels must clearly indicate framing  height, camera angle and movement'
