LESSON 5 • BUILD YOUR FIRST SHORT FILM
Storyboard & Shot List
Break every scene into deliberate shots before you animate anything.
Build it
Choose wide, medium, close-up, over-the-shoulder, insert, and movement shots. Give each shot a purpose, estimated duration, camera angle, subject action, and dialogue or sound cue.
STORYBOARD CHECKPOINT
Turn scenes into visual panels.
Each shot now becomes its own storyboard panel with framing, action, dialogue, and timing notes. This is the production map for Lesson 6.
