From Word to Image : Storyboarding and the Filmmaking Process

This is the second edition of a text providing guidance on the creation and use of storyboards in filmmaking. It covers the history of storyboarding, the place of storyboards in preproduction, creating a visual shot list, overhead diagramming, drawing, the expression of camera movement with the use of frames extended beyond typical aspect ratio, the role of narrative in storyboard composition, and related topics. Added to this new edition is discussion of the use of color in storyboarding, as well as the use of previsualization techniques for animation, new media, and visual effects. The appendixes, which have been revised and expanded, provide information on software for storyboarding, list film DVDs with storyboards, list websites with visualization content, and provide frame templates.
