In today’s creative world, being a modern filmmaker requires a broad understanding of various aspects of storytelling. Whether you aspire to be a screenwriter, director, or producer, or you are simply learning for the sake of interest, a comprehensive grasp of the story is essential for effective expression. This course will guide participants from the initial outline of a story, through scene breakdowns and scriptwriting, ultimately mastering the basics of storyboard creation to enhance your competitive edge.
The process of transforming a story from script to visual representation is one of the most creative and challenging steps. It involves not only the application of techniques but also a deep understanding and expression of the emotions within the story. Throughout the course, participants will learn how to concretize abstract story concepts, clearly illustrating each scene, character, and emotion through storyboards, laying a solid foundation for the final visual work.
