Story Boarding

Storyboarding is a critical step in the filmmaking process. It bridge the gap between a director's vision and the realization of a scene. Recently, I just got into creating a storyboard for a scene from "To All the Boys I've Loved Before", portraying on "Kitty's Confession".

Story Boarding: 

    Storyboarding helped me understand how scenes are planned not just for the narrative flow but also to convey emotional impact. Through creating the storyboarding, I learned that lighting play a huge role in my storyboard. For example, in the scene "Kitty's Confession" they use low-key lighting to set the tone of uneasy and dramatic atmosphere for a nighttime confession. Throughout this scene, my sketch revolve in deciding where characters and objects are placed in each frame and allowed me to guide the audience's attention and build tension. Furthermore, to transit between scene to scene, maintaining consistent lighting and setting is also crucial to create a relative environment. Furthermore, storyboarding made it easier to plan character's movement and interactions; ensure that every moment felt purposeful.

    

    There are some challenges can propose to storyboarding making process like conveying a mental image into a clear and comprehensive visual is way harder than expected. Drawing skills can also be a factor that make this task overwhelming. Additionally, visualizing how characters and props cooperate within a confine space required a lot of planning to avoid confusion during filming.
