Hey y'all. Remember when I was talking about screenplays and how important a script was? Well guess what, there's something else you should know about: STORYBOARDS! The epidermis of a script as I'd like to call it.
Now that your script is up and running, you NEED (you don't actually NEED but it would be EXTREMELY helpful) that you come up with a storyboard! These things help directors and cinematographers map out a scene with visual images and sketches before actually shooting. Basically, it's like a pre-requisite to filming, instead of winging it and figuring out shots and composition on the spot, storyboarding plans it all out beforehand! There's not much too it, and it may be difficult and annoying at first. But trust me, storyboards are REALLY helpful and vital if you want to seriously film.
Here are a few sources to help you out if you have absolutely no idea how to put your script into storyboard format. I was gonna be a smart-alec about it, but nah, sketching a script is pretty tough... so here you go! (You're welcome)
