Director's Storyboard
​& Storyboard Spreadsheet
 

     Treat the storyboard like a comic book or graphic novel of sorts.  This is a tool that you as a director will use to communicate to your actors and designers.  You are going to create at least 6 ‘storyboard panels.’  Basically, treat each panel like a panel of a comic book; it shows the relationship between the characters, or the power struggle, or a specific character’s struggle.  This storyboard should focus much more on the actors and their relationships, not on the technical elements of set/costume/props.  If a set piece is important though (for instance, if the characters are sitting at a table) then include it. 

      First, choose at least 6 moments in your play that are important moments (high tension, climax of a scene, very funny moments, etc).  They need to be 6 scenes that speak to you in some way.  


Assignment 4a:  Storyboard Spreadsheet:  Download the spreadsheet labeled ‘storyboard spreadsheet’...or you can create your own spreadsheet in Google Sheets.  If you download the spreadsheet, it has 10 spots for scenes (if you want to do more).  But the minimum for the assignment is 6.
For each scene you have chosen, you will fill in:
  • The page number
  • The important line or lines that surround this moment 
           (if it is a monologue, just a small part will work)
  • Description of what the stage picture should look like
  • Any other important information

Assignment 4b:  Storyboard:  Create (at least) 6 panels for your storyboard.  You have options on how you would like to create them.
  • First Option (this is the preferred option, we will take time in class for this so you can use the stage/fellow actors).  Have your friends/family to dress up as the characters and stage it out, taking still photographs for each storyboard panel/tableau.
  • Second Option. You can draw/paint them yourself, if you are artistically talented.  NOTE:  If you are drawing or painting these panels, they need to be of the quality that you would turn in for an AP Art class portfolio.  
  • Third Option:  You can find a digital method of creating the storyboard.  HOWEVER, as above (for the third option), this method should look professional.  These should not look like cartoons or bitmoji.
  • Or, if none of these options speak to you, reach to Mr. Faw and suggest another option.  Be creative!
        
Under each panel, either type or write a short description of the scene.
