3 Minute Short Film - Storyboard

3 Minute Short Film

Storyboard

Before starting my storyboard I had a chance to meet David Bunting, an Animator and currently working on storyboard for the new Bob the Builder. He gave us advice of using layouts or references while doing your story boarding. So I first built some simple building plans for my locations and used a cylinder for my character locations. Using these I planned my shots again and did my storyboards.

While doing my storyboards I had changed my story(Mostly the Ending) twice or more which you can see in my other post about the script(http://ankush-abm.blogspot.com/2015/12/3-minute-short-film-script.html). I also colour-coded my storyboard for the characters as i hadn't finalized their designs at the time.

3 Minute Short Film - Script Breakdown

Script-Breakdown

The script breakdown was also easy and straight forward, I saw the movie Devil for some reference and inspiration. The movie was also set in a lift like mine. They used a full shot to show all the characters in the lift and when the door was open they used medium to close up shot to show of each characters, later in the movie. They even made use of the mirrors of the lift to squeeze all characters in to the frame. So I devised to do the same and designed my lift with top half mirrors which is common now a days. I took the movies advice and used medium shots mostly. Oh! and the best shot I thought was the security camera ones. They used an high angle shot with a fish eye effect to put the whole lift in view.

I also looked at a website about storyboarding and camera angles, where i picked up some small stuff but was mostly filled with info I already knew.
