Storyboarding
Any film, especially animated ones, is planned out in advance. Significant points in the action are drawn and the drawn panels are put together on a board in the order in which they're supposed to happen. This sequence of story panels is a storyboard.
Here's some examples.
Your job is to put together a storyboard of a fairy tale. You may pick any one of the following fairy tales.
- Snow White,
- Rumpelstiltskin,
- Jack and the Beanstalk,
- Goldilocks,
- Beauty and the Beast,
- Cinderella or
- Rapunzel
Once you have picked a story you are going to storyboard it.
- Your storyboard will have at least 10 panels.
- Each picture should have a sentence or two of description to show what's going on in that panel.
- It may be done freehand (hand drawn), drawn using a computer program, or using one of the cartoon generators listed here. Pick whichever you can do neatly. There is no better or worse way to do this. Pick the one that works. best for you.
- The comic generators may not let you do more than three panels per strip. If that's true and you want to do fifteen panels, make 5 strips with the comic generator you picked.
