This past week we had to do a blog analysis on Canvas reflecting on other people's past blogs to get inspiration for our own postings. One of the blogs I visited was Riley's AICE Media Blog and there was a site she used for her storyboard that I think would be useful for my own and it's called Studio Binder. Riley and I share the same struggle of not being experts at drawing manually, but I think creating a digital storyboard and shot list is much easier for my brain to process. This is quite literally an earth-shattering discovery because it gives you a ton of organizational options when creating a shot list:
You're just going to have to trust me because of the photo's low resolution, but it lets you choose the type of shot: medium shot, close-up, or wide shot and it even gives you different types of variations for each?? This site was getting better with every click, man.
When I saw this panel, it seriously made my jaw drop, and I love it! The site gave me even more bursts of inspiration when I was scrolling through the other panels for the shot and this panel was even more awesome: it lets you choose the camera height, a dutch tilt if you want a dramatic flair, the framing, and options for the FOCUS AND DEPTH OF FIELD! My fourth shot was originally just going to be a low-angle, close-up of all the stuff placed on the table when my main character Iris walks in, but now I think it'd be even better to make it a rack focus from the stuff in one hand, to the show poster that was in her other. It could imply that Iris is trying to handle her at-home life with the stress of performing in her school's play for the first time.
