There are two exercises

1. Make a storyboard from a scene in a film

2. Make a storyboard from a script in a film


Resource:

Here is a Storyboard Template I made. It is easy to use for digital and hand drawn storyboards, you can print this and use it for hand drawn animation or import digitally made shots and photograph storyboards: https://teespring.com/storyboard-templates


Here is a quick YouTube video with some tips on learning to storyboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQsvhq28sOI



Storyboard from Scene

Take one of my favourite scenes from any film, and it is the night-bus scene from Harry Potter. Make a storyboard for this scene. Watch the video first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FArmRa092H0


Storyboard from script

Make a storyboard of the script written bellow from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets:


INT. MARBLE STAIRCASE - MOMENTS LATER

Harry dashes madly, taking the steps three at a time. He makes the landing, rushes through the archway, and...


INT. SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR - SECOND FLOOR - NIGHT

... sleds to a stop, listening: Nothing. Slowly, he peers down. WATER is oozing over the stone floor, surrounding his shoes. His own REFLECTION appears and, behind it, undulating like a dream... WORDS. Ron and Hermione come huffing up.


RON

Harry, what are you doing?

He points. SHIMMERING on the wall are the words he saw reflected in water.

THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPENED ENEMIES OF THE HEIR... BEWARE.


HERMIONE

'The Chamber of Secrets has been opened...?'

RON

What's that? Hanging underneath?

HARRY

That's Filch's cat. Mrs. Norris.


The cat hangs stiffly by her tail from a torch bracket, eyes open and blank. Harry's eyes shift to the adjacent WINDOW: near the topmost pane, SPIDERS scuttle up a silvery thread, fight to get through a crack in the glass.


HERMIONE

Look at that. Have you ever seen spiders act like that? Ron...?


RON

(backing away) I... don't... like... spiders.


Suddenly, the stairwell is alive with VOICES and, seconds later, dozens of students stream forth, CHATTERING... when they stop, seeing the wall and, standing before it, Harry, Ron and Hermione. A thudding SILENCE falls. Then Draco pushes forward, eyes the wall, and grins nastily.
