What is a Storyboard?

 A storyboard is tool that directors and storyboards use to show what a scene will look like when it is filmed and to show how certain shots will be and how some effects will be like after they are done with for example in the for the film Spiderman 2 (directed by Sam Rami) the train battle got storyboarded to show what would happen in the scene such as the cinematography and the choreography.

In some cases such as films adapted from comic books or novels the directors will just use the comic panels as the storyboards for example in the film Scott pilgrim vs The world (directed by Edgar Wright) The film mostly used the already existing art made by Bryan Lee O’Marley.

Other ways directors and storyboarders can do storyboards is through animatics. Animatics are used usually in animated movies to show what the vision of a single scene would be as an example this scene from the movie Spider-Man into the spider verse.

Also another way to do storyboards is through Previsualisation. Previsualisation is why are you use I camera and basic areas and people such as stunt doubles to show how a fight scene or and dancing scene will look look like when it’s filmed for example when Marvel Studios and Netflix made the TV show daredevil They would have to make previsualisations so actors wouldn’t know how to do the moves in the fight scenes.

Harvard style of storyboards is very much like normal storyboarding but it includes colour and things searches dialogue coming out of peoples mouths through speech bubbles and doesn’t Indicate the camera movements and such things like that, it mainly focuses on the dialogue of the storyboards characters and such.

Advertising Research for College advert

Image
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg4Mq5EAEzw I know these examples aren't really similar to a advert for a college but bare with me this is a link to an advertisement for coca cola that was made around Christmas 2020 the goal of this advert is to associate Coca Cola with happiness and Christmas time therefore you buy more of their product and if I was able to make students feel productive through the ad I make it would be very effective. Things I like about this ad is that the shots in it were lit very well and were nice to look at and in my ad for Sunderland college I also want that in either the magazine or video I create making the add more appealing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Juv2c0xgGno This is an advert created by John Lewis and like the Coca Cola advert that I spoke about before it gets the viewer to associate their product as a warm and nice and happy product around Christmas time therefore making the viewer want to buy the product they are selling. the upsides to this
