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 3a:  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 3b:  Storyboard:  Create 6 panels for your storyboard.  You have options on how you would like to create them.
  • You can draw/paint them yourself, if you are artistically inclined.  They do not have to be in color, black and white is acceptable, but these need to communicate the scene well.
  • You can have your friends/family to dress up as the characters and stage it out, taking still photographs for each storyboard panel.
  • You can find a digital method of creating the storyboard.  Storyboardthat.com is a site that students have used in the past, it's a little cartoon-ish, but it can work.
  • 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.
