BLOG 9: ACTION SCENE SKETCHES

Hey, lovies, welcome back to my blog!

    Today's blog will solely focus on the storyboard. I will be storyboarding a short clip from Officer Black Belt (Obviously! because my favorite hubby starred in there😁). I will document what I've learned along the way, as well as any obstacles I went through. Most importantly, I will also discuss the importance of storyboarding (and don't worry, I will include the clip I storyboarded so you can fully understand it😉). With that being said, let's SPRINT straight to today's content🏃🏻‍♀️.

Officer Black Belt's Story Board

Story Boarded Clip

    I believe the storyboard to be the MOST important process in a film's production. Not only does the storyboard help plan out the shots needed to be created and how to create them, but it's also helps identify potential issues and hence ADDRESS them early on (this can limit any extra time and cost during production). On top of that, a storyboard helps keep everyone in the team on the same page; this can ensure everyone's ideas were coordinated properly and thus indirectly avoids UNWANTED arguments and builds cohesive teamwork. Beside that, I've learned an important skill while storyboarding. I've learned how to EFFECTIVELY analyze a shot, including how to identify its mis-en-scene's elements, camera movements, and shot sizes. This skill will come in clutch later on with this class's writing exam (let's all pray for my A's yall's🥹). Honestly speaking, it was difficult for me at first since I didn't know what to include in my drawing or description. It took me a total of 2 hours just to finish the storyboard. However, as I finished more and more drawings, I was able to reduce the time needed for each shot; hence, I had a better experience near the end of this assignment😤. I will rate this experience a BENEFICIAL/10; I will definitely do this again😁.
