how your Reading reflects on your practical investigation - 250 words
Reading through the book, Directing a Story has aided my practical outcome substantially through the knowledge of structure, from script to storyboard. Key points towards production of storyboards, and what is needed to portray the story visually, for instance with the use of shading, lighting, the environment and perspective. I have also learnt more about the process of the storyboard, beat boards and some information on Disney’s storyboarding process.
Shot by Shot has helped my practical outcome through both the understanding of each shot, cinematography, and storyboard examples, as well as knowledge on the storyboard process. I enjoyed reading the whole visualisation process with production design leading to storyboards, and how the director interprets storyboarding. The book goes in depth with a range of media, from traditional to digital which has helped me to consider what media to use for my own practical.
I had intended the book, The Art of Movie Storyboards to be more influential towards my essay however it has aided my practical work more. As well as showing examples from classic films and animated features, the book conveys more information on the storyboard artist, the relation with the director and how the storyboards were influenced by media and context. The examples are amazing inspiration for my own practical work with the use of media and layout. It was interesting to see how uniform the Psycho storyboards were compared to Spellbound both created by the same director; each storyboard artist have their own style.
