3.2d - Location and talent photographs to storyboard comparison

The following figures are a comparison between location photographs or screen shots of the cast to the final storyboard. There is a close resemblance between the photographs and the boards. This enables the director and crew to accurately see what the camera will film.

In Figures 3.2d-1 and 3.2d-11 the location photographs show a bar with rounded edges on one side and rounded smaller tables on the other side. The storyboard artist was able to capture this look effectively in Figures 3.2d-2 and 3.2d-12, allowing the director to clearly see the shot in the location where filming will take place.

Consider Figures 3.2d-10, for example. This sketch includes three cast members standing at the bar. In one glance, because of the detail in the drawing, it is clear what the positioning is for each actor, who they are, the props they are using, and their wardrobes.

Commentary

The Storyboard Artist

In keeping with the idea that storyboards should be as close to the filmed image as possible, it is important to capture the likeness of the actors and locations while drawing. Although boards with less detail will work for a production, the closer you can draw the image to the actual intent of the film, the easier it will be for the person looking at the boards to visualize the story.

Boards are usually done in great volume. In the interest of time, the frames drawn should capture a likeness while being simple enough to allow the artist the ability to keep up with the work load.
