Visual Storytelling and Storyboarding

Description

Stories told in images need structure, and these ten PDF lessons show how to plan them. They begin with visual storytelling fundamentals, story structure and narrative flow, and the basic drawing techniques needed for storyboards.

Further lessons cover camera angles and composition, character expressions and emotions, scene transitions and pacing. You then develop a first complete storyboard, add text and dialogue, and review and revise it, ending with a final project. The PDFs include checklists and many exercises. After reading, you should be able to turn a short story idea into a sequence of panels, and you do not need advanced drawing skills to do it.

Who it is for: beginners who want to plan stories visually, for film, comics or presentations.
