story-boarding

ah yeah. here's where it get's fun (if it hasn't been already).
story-boarding.
mark used simpsons tutorials which made for many humorous comments.
some points to take home included:
angels in shots are our friends!
show at least three planes to keep the shots interesting.
a "hook-up" establishes where the second shot is going to by having some of it in the first shot (make sense??) use it when two scenes are connected by an action.
editing is violent, cuts are jarring.
180 degree rule: keep characters facing the same direction as your establishing shot.
picture flow: draw a circle around the flow of elements (usualy in the form of a spiral) to clarify the flow of the shot.

i will return to the tutorial and add some more exciting story-boarding information for all those interested. (basicaly for my own good).
