ART 363 Graphic Narrative for Storyboard

This course will introduce students to storyboarding for film and television. Students will gain a basic understanding of the relationship of storyboarding for live action and animation to the graphic storytelling seen in graphic novels & comic book or strip art. We will learn how to best serve a director's needs, in their choices of sequences that need storyboard treatment. We will examine techniques for how to pace a narrative in board form; how to indicate simple and complex camera movements; methods of representing "on-model" likenesses of varied characters under different lighting and atmospheric conditions; and We will explore methods for researching and referencing period-specific clothing and all of the necessary objects and architecture of a given script.
