Do you already have an idea or a short film story in mind that you’d like to realize, but aren’t sure yet how to tell it through images? This course is for you! Its goal is to create a storyboard that can be used in the context of a personal project or a transversal project linked to another course.
We will explore the behind-the-scenes of a selection of short films, through their production files, scripts, and storyboards/animatics, and analyze different narrative structures. We will examine the importance of narrative structure, framing, the articulation of shots, and narrative coherence, as well as color tone, rhythm, and timing. Although the process will primarily focus on animation, we will also consider fiction, documentary, and a few transmedia projects.
This course is open to all student-e-x-s, but requires participants to bring a narrative idea or an existing story to adapt. The work will take a collaborative form, and student-e-x-s will exchange ideas and refine other projects as well as their own, based on feedback received.
