LESSON 3 • BUILD YOUR FIRST SHORT FILM
Build the World & Scenes
Design the locations, props, lighting, visual rules, and scene continuity that make your short feel like one believable world.
Build it
Create a visual description for each location, define time of day, lighting, recurring props, and the color/mood of the film. Keep a short continuity list so scenes stay consistent.
STORYBOARD CHECKPOINT
Add the world to every frame.
Attach the correct location, lighting, props, and visual mood to each storyboard beat so the sequence starts looking like a real film plan.
