Week 6

woohoo heres cheers for lecture - tute full-on-ness!
todays was a whopper of a lesson!
Storyboards + Layouts = OMFGODNESS!
to sum it up....

STORYBOARDS
A series of panels roughly depicting scenes, copy, and shots proposed for a television commercial. The storyboard gives the client a good idea of the agency's concept for a commercial, before extensive production charges are incurred.
No one style of storyboard is universal.
The preferred aspect ratio these days however is Widescreen or 1:9/16
The creation of background layout is based directly on the artwork in the storyboard.

Production Notes
Action / notes ---> explain what the imagery is showing.
Dialogue and sound effects ---> are placed in a box with the character's name.
Timing ---> added to assist in speaking and action. Effects the total running time of the show.
Scene Transition / camera directions ---> how the scene will end, transition to the next scene and whether or not there is a camera movement.

CUT: The end of a scene
FADE-IN: Starts dark and gets bright.
FADE-OUT: Starts bright and gets dark.
CROSS DISSOLVE: A combination of fade-out and fade-in produces a "ghost-like" effect as one
scene disappears while the other appears at the same time.



MODEL SHEETS
Character Pose sheets ---> involves character line up comparison, five different poses of the one character, character mouth shots, and prop sheets (different poses of an object).


LAYOUT IS THE CRUCIAL STEPPING STONE TO THE REST OF THE PRODUCTION. PLAN THISSTAGE THOROUGHLY!
