To do a scene right, it can take a lot of time to prepare. Sometimes, you can get the scene just right with little to no preparation. I was taught in Film School that once Albert Hitchcock was finished with preproduction, he was pretty much done with the film. Just how in depth was his storyboarding! However, Wikipedia has a little bit of a different story. But as William Goldman famously proclaimed, “Nobody knows anything.”
Below is a storyboard/schematic I did for a Storyboarding class. In reality, I only do thumbnails. Perhaps one day if Paramount decides they want me to make a movie for them, I’ll do more than thumbnails!
Thumbnails are a bit annoying, but necessary to work out what you really want! Here is the set I did for the script. The circles underneath each thumbnail are the thumbs I selected. There is also a quick sketch of a schematic on the last page.
Is your storyboarding more in depth than mine! It probably looks a lot better!
