Shootingboards give insight into how angles, framing, movement, focus and composition progress the story visually - shot by shot
"A picture tells more than a 1000 words"- but does that make it a story...?
Art, fiction, story are part of human evolution = cognitive play with patterns of information - Brian Boyd's "On the Origin of Stories"
"Painting with Light" by John Alton was the first book written on cinematography by a major cinematographer (1949) #VisualStoryDesign
Story Seminar Robert McKee - Ireland 5-8 November
Showing something doesn't automatically mean that viewers will 'see' it...
Are you designing a story for a brand? Focus on a key conflict that the brand (product) solves and make it stand out as the "hero"!
Reveal deep truth by exploring the 4 levels of conflict: inner self, relationships, society, and physical world i.e. soul, heart, mind, body
An intricate plot design has many twists and turns; secrets and revelations - creating and closing gaps of information in unexpected ways
Designing a "story"? Questions to ask: for whom? To what affect? Is there a CTA? What are the characters? Their functional or dramatic role?
Design: a plan produced to show the look and function or workings of an object before it is made. The story object? A film, website, text...
Interactivity is not an aspect of "story" - it is only an aspect of the viewer/user "experience". It is not a "narrative" element.
Black&White movies of the silent era (pre 1929) were not all black&white originally. Footage was colored for time of day; purple blue yellow
The meaning of a closeup shot is different when it is placed before or after a wide or medium shot. Sequence matters! #VisualStoryDesign
What makes an image "authentic"? Grainy texture, shaky camera? Natural light? Everyday situation&scenery? Absence of metaphor or symbolism?
A must read for anyone interested in the art and craft of cinematography; John Alton's classic "Painting With Light" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Alton
How visually mindful are we exactely? Less than we think... A stunning clip, see how it is made youtu.be/ubNF9QNEQLA #VisualStoryDesign
Geometric shapes can be used as visual cues to direct viewers' attention, especially powerful when using contrasting or complementary colors
Does your shot, frame or composition draw attention to itself and away from the story? Does it respect the Suspension of Disbelief?
