All this, very simply because a storyboard must express each of these elements in a simple way.

What will you learn in this online course?
You will begin by getting to know Pablo Buratti’s work better in film and advertising. You will discover how he has become specialized in illustration of storyboards and the references that inspire him within the comic world and the audiovisual industry.

Next, you will discover what a storyboard is, how it was born and its different applications. You will also know how to differentiate it from other visual resources such as the shooting board or the animatic.

From a given literary script, you will know its process of breakdown. You will define the different vignettes that will make up the graphic script that will serve as reference when filming each shot and you will discover the aspects that add drama and expressiveness to the image such as the frame, the location of the camera and its angulations, the movement, the optics and axes.

At the end of the course, you will create a technical script and a storyboard with specifications about locations, characters and situations for a professional shoot.

What is this course’s project?
From the script of a scene, you will apply the concepts learned to make a storyboard of no more than 20 cartoons.

Pablo will give you the necessary indications as a Director to mark the frames, the action of characters and camera movements but you should bear in mind that, although it is always important to stick to the script, it is also important that the artist knows how to propose and contribute his own look so take the opportunity to focus your ideas well!
