Task
 
For this project (Shooting Script, Rough Storyboard, Artist’s Storyboard, and Director’s Pitch), you will be working with one script as the director and you will be working with another script as the artist.  Thus you will need to pair up with someone in the class.  You will each need to choose one of the scripts provided, but you cannot both choose the same script.  You will each be your own director for that script and the other member of the pair will be that director’s artist for the storyboarding.  The overall goal of this project is, as a director, to pitch your story using the storyboard to a group of producers.
 
Once you have pair up and you have each chosen different scripts, then pair of you will trade off playing two different roles: director and storyboard artist.
 
Role: Director
  • Create a line script (see pages 188 - 189)
  • Create a rough shot list with timing (see pages 189 - 191)
These two tasks need be turned in electronically by 6 pm Monday 7 November 2005.
  • Provide your storyboard artist with your line script and rough shot list with timing.
  • Arrange a time to meet with your storyboard artist to convey your vision of the story.
  • Set a meeting time to review the storyboard thumbnails with timing.
  • Review thumbnails and indicate any changes you want the storyboarder to make.
  • After you as director are satisfied with the thumbnails, then set the meeting to review the storyboader’s rough storyboard for your script.
  • Set the delievery time with your artist of the final project storyboard to be used in you pitch.
  • Submit your script’s storyboard (both rough and final) electronically before 6 pm Monday 14 November 2005.
  • The producers will provide you with a pitch time either Monday 14 November or Wednesday 16 November 2005 – see schedule to be posted by 7 November for you appointment date. 
Role: Storyboard Artist
  • Read the line script and review the rough shot list provided by the director.
  • Come up with questions for your director you feel are necessary to help you understand your director’s vision for the story.
  • Set the meeting time to review the script, the director’s vision and get the answers to your questions.
  • Meet with director to get director’s vision.
  • Set meeting time to review storyboard thumbnails.
  • Create storyboard thumbnails with timing notes.
  • Meet with director and implement any changes necessary.  You may need to repeat these last few steps until the director is satisfied with the storyboard thumbnails.
  • Create the rough storyboard and meet with director to review the roughs.
  • After the director is satisfied with the roughs, then create the final storyboard, make sure the format is correct for the director’s presentation as well as a set of JPGs for the director to submit to the producers (the instructor).
As director you are in charge, thus you will turn in:
  • Shooting script and rough shot list with timings (7 November 2005).
  • Both the rough storyboard and the final storyboard as JPGs (14 November 2005).
  • Pitch your story using the storyboard.
