Explaining Storyboard

Storyboard is another way to explore the possibility of narrative or to train an appearance. Parents say that "a picture can explain a thousand words" is very suitable for storyboarding.

In general, the making of films, comic books and animation, a script was developed before the storyboard created. Lighting the story does not always require Generally, the making of the film, comic books and animation, a script was developed before the storyboard created. Lighting the story does not always require a complete script to take advantage in the process of storyboarding. But we must have stories and stories that have a strong concept. A good storyboard can help us understand a story that is unusual or facilitate the development of the original story.

A storyboard is a series of serial images, with or without words, which tell a continuing story. Art and storyboard sheets are available at the store art needs, but we can also create your own.            Simply drawing a series of boxes in a horizontal writing paper. Give a little space under each box to the words. We can make it directly with a pen or can also use the computer.                                    Once we have the example of the design, print or multiply a few sheets to be used. Now we can start making the type of game with the storyboard below.

Game # 1 - Rehearsal Storyboard. The basis of this game is the story storyboard that has been known previously, Mass Cinderella, Red Riding Hood Girl, etc.                                                                               For the story into several sections that easily tell. Limit the words on each panel to no more than two or three lines only. This requires regular exercise.                                                                                         Do this several times until we get a series of sequential segments suitable for us. Next, find some suitable images, such as photos or artwork from newspapers or magazines, use clip art or looking on the internet.                                                                                                                                                                Clip, cut, paste, trace, copy and color are the basic techniques in creating storyboards. People with more artistic ability can do this better but everyone should try it yourself.                                               Please note that we can cut, copy and pasting using a collection of images gathered from various sources and create a scene that helps explain the story.                                                                      Expand our storyboard on a poster board with tape and paste. Now we have a set of storyboards which can be used to find our stories.                                                                  

Game # 2 – Story building Storyboard. Use this type of storyboard to create a new story. Clipping is the most important processes in this type of game. Take time to gather the pictures. We have to clip the image of interest to us. We'll find a pattern slowly emerged. Assign pictures into categories or the same subject. We also did-clip words that draw from an ad. There are many words that 'smart' in a magazine. Once we have a good collection, spread clipping results in a table so that we can take and select it. The key to success in this game is to allow the process of free association to guide our choices.  Use the sense of "what if ..." and play with the clipping. Organize and restructure them until something appears in our imagination. If you still have doubts about the power of this technique, try on a small child. Once we get the concept of our story, we are able to clip, copy, and paste our pictures into a sheet and stuck to their story on the poster board.We have completed a set of storyboards which can be used to develop new story ideas for written and shown.

Game # 3 - Photo Storyboard. Use this storyboard to help connect personal or family stories. We need black and white family photos or photos clean before starting the journey this storyboard. Do not be too clear on the opening. We're not going to get an accurate story sequence of photos of our vacation or family reunion. Consider additional copy or cut from magazines or travel brochures, make copies of family photographs of similar events, or simply cut something from a magazine in accordance with our narrative.  Once we get the block stories, tell stories with their own words using the panel on the story sheet. Do this several times until we feel comfortable with it. We can write a short narrative below each panel if necessary. Now after we finish our story sheet, paste on poster board. In making storyboards we can decide who appears in every scene and get a better idea about how to proceed with the story and editing catches us. In making storyboards we can decide who appears in every scene and get a better idea about how to proceed with the story and editing catches us. We can also use a Chart Storyboard Organizer to help us plan and create a storyboard:Explain briefly part of the story we will tell. If possible, write the description with the measures numbered.

The sketch we must comply with the description of the scene. We should identify shooting, every camera movement and screen position. Pay attention to transitions such as 'cut', 'fade', 'dissolve', and other details.  We can make our storyboard more interesting by taking a picture from a different angle. Several types of shooting angle:

Wide Shot: This is the name of the angle of the image taken from a distance small character will appear. This type of shooting usually occurs at the beginning of the game to make players aware of the place settings.

Long Shot: At this angle of the characters appear larger than Wide Shot. Characters visible from head to toe in full but also a place settings are still clearly visible.

Medium Shot: The character seen from below waist to head. At this angle we can see the expression on the character even close enough to see what the hand of the characters.

Close-up Shot: Shows only the heads of the characters. Suitable for showing a clear expression of character.

High Camera Angle: This position will see the characters from the top. This position makes the character seem like an important figure.

Low Camera Angle: This position will see the characters from the bottom. This position makes the characters look great and strong.

Character Design

In the character creation there are a few tips that can be followed. A character will be interesting if it meets the following criteria:

1.       Character it wants something to be achieved.

2.       For achieve his desire of the characters must struggle with various challenges. This can be a body ownership, a relationship, a state of mind, etc..

How do we choose a conflict that will happen to the characters. There are several methods for character selection problem that we will create:

1.Trait vs. trait: Destination characters are divided into two balanced each other or disability makes him difficult to get what he wants. A simple case could be "duty vs. survival" as we are faced with the problem of saving the lives of prisoners with a bet. Other examples are "social justice vs. law" as the story of Robin Hood.

2.Double-edged Sword: What makes the characters we make into a hero and make him suffer. For example Superman should justify what is wrong even though it is impossible to do and Lex Luthor had been waiting with a half-ton of Kryptonite.

In making our character must also prepare a biography of the character. Biographical background of the characters. Does he have family, friends, or a secret that should not be known by others? Does he have a particular problem? What is she like and hate? These questions can assist in making the character biographies.

The formation of character in a game must meet the simple rules are:                                                 "Give players time to recognize the characters before the main problems started."

In the movie Rocky, the first scene begins when the credits began to walk early. The scene went straight to the fight without knowing who the main character and if Rocky should win or not.  At the end of the story must be fought with Rocky Apollo Creed is not related at all with the fight scene at the beginning of the story.

Storyboard is a script that set forth in the form of drawings or sketches are useful to better facilitate the shooting cameraman. This is an example storyboard in video production.

STEP

1. Create drawings with pencil and paper first, and later transferred to the computer results.
2. Start with the character design.
3. Create a sketch action frames for all essential plot.
4. Use the sidebar notes described in Step 3 to describe the virtual camera angle, special sound effects and things that other nonvisual.
5. Create a rough design of the key characters and scene with graphic processing programs to support the action frame has been hand drawn.

STORYBOARD

1. A set of sketches that show how the sequence of events occurs.
2. Similar to the cartoon panel, because it has pictures and panels explaining the scene and some possibility of dialogue.
3. In games, storyboard explaining how the game will run.
4. Game is not linear (unlike the movie)
5. Camera angle, the position of the character, and even appeared for the control of the game elements.
6. Storyboard is designed to display (almost all) possible event sequences.

Reasons for the use of storyboards

1. Help explain the concept of game
2. Help communication between teams
3. Having a basic idea of the game
4. Make a storyboard and rough sketch of the gaming world will be made, the main character and actions contained in it later.

Reasons for the use of storyboards.

1. Help thinking about the game and detailed nature of the game overall.
2. Combining the concept of a design document (such movie script).

Function Storyboard

1. Plan a cinematic sequence
2. Build Animated
3. Shows the complex actions
4. Actions showed a non player

STORYBOARD AND CHARACTER DESIGN

Designing a game is more than just combining each part. There are many aspects that must be considered and explored so that it will produce an interesting game and provide a fun to the play. Process sequences usually used in making games is as follows:

1. Having a basic idea of the game that will be made.

2. Make a storyboard and rough sketch of the gaming world will be made, the main character and actions contained in it later.

3. Thinking and register the details of the game will be made and all things related to the overall nature of the game.

4. Last is to integrate all these concepts into a design document that looks something like a moviescript which contains all things related to the game.

Storyboard Role in Film

1. Term storyboards for some people is still sound familiar. Storyboard is a sketch design or image that comes with instructions and a note taking pictures to shooting needs. Storyboard is one of the components required in the stage production of audio visual media including film.

2. In Indonesia, more storyboards used in the production of TV ads or video clips to music. TV commercials and music clips is a level of high detail images and the complex dynamics of the camera. As for feature films using storyboard still depends on the genre or type of film.

Storyboard Role in Film Production

1. When referring to the film production stage right, the role of storyboarding was an important role, especially in support of pre-production process.
