    first time i learnt storyboarding, my mentor told me it's like making doodle comic. whatever you draw, it should be able to portray what you want to show without putting lots of detail. i realized i did this quite often, and what i know is 'shapes matter.' it's quite hard first, but eventually i got it. simple shapes, but it can convey the story.
    also, with such style, no need to worry if your storyboard is revised; people draw shapes and line all over the place. imagine if you made details there...

    Here’s content you can add to your storyboard:
    •Timings- important some people argue on screen timings a lot on movies for e.g. screen timings on the villain like joker in Suicide squad
    •Camera shots (close up, mid, long)
    •Camera angles( over the shoulder, low angle, aerial)
    •Camera movement(pan, tilt, zoom or use a track and dolly
    •Lighting (type and direction)
    •Sound (dialogue, sound effects, ambient, sound, music)
    •Location (indoor studio, or other room, outdoor)
    I wouldn’t recommend speech bubbles etc. No point if you’re the designer or in a test. It’s up to the developer or director of a movie to decide what the characters will say
    You would be presenting something that can be visualised
    If you’re doing a test, this is in a mark scheme as a y11 student myself I have a mark scheme of a test paper
    Check for practice on OCR

      To be fair, I think you'd be better off worrying about adding the timings into the storyboard when you get to the animatic stage (filming the storyboard literally with the aim of getting the timings and so overall feel and flow of the movie) because then you can actually test what timings genuinely work and add those in there for the final version. Although I guess it doesn't hurt to have initial guesstimates on the storyboard as a guide for when you film the animatic, especially if you're like a pro and can get pretty close to the correct timings just based on experience and instinct. I can't remember if I used to put the timings down before I test them by filming the actual storyboard or if I filmed the actual storyboard for the animatic, figured out the times, and then retroactively added them into the storyboard for when it came to doing the proper shooting. But--and, note that I was doing this for animations where you actually do the dialogue before any final drawings so already have some decent time indications based on how long people take to say things--there are other timing sheets and stuff that I recall you had on top of the storyboard anyway. Might need to look that up to be honest.

    When I was a kid in high school I always wanted to make movies, even just short films. However, I was under the impression, at the time, I wasn't "good enough" or "smart enough" since I was in the "basic" program. If any teacher happens to read this, especially, teaching basic level classes, this is a great opportunity to expand their knowledge. I promise you. If I had more encouragement, who knows what could have come from it? If you are an individual who reads this, all the same to you. Make magic by making things move in your direction.

    I did media production at university 20 odd years ago, this is FIRST TIME storyboarding as made sense to me and actually feels like there's a purpose for it. Our teacher at college was so insistent on drawing everything and didn't explain why also didn't explain how what we were drawing related to what we were filming so storyboarding just always felt like an unnecessary waste of time that got in the way of creating.

    Great video. I have been storyboarding my model car CZcams videos on my channel. I find it works a lot better than before when I wasn't. Now i can figure out where I want to stand, and my camera angle, my lines and film a segment and then change the camera angle and other things. I don't say "umm..." anymore because I can say short lines instead and then cut to a different scene and the storyboard helps me piece everything together when it comes to me editing.
