Storyboarding


What is a storyboard?
A storyboard is a concept or a script written for a film or animation. A storyboard visually tells the story of an animation panel by panel, telling what happens in each individual scene which is each individual panel. Through this, we will be able to convey some of the key/important information in each panel.
How do we create a storyboard?

We usually create a storyboard by traditionally using pen and pencil. They do not draw it in detail as it is still in the draft state. We can also use other materials like photos, digital art and cutouts. You can create storyboards by drawing each pane on index cards which makes it easier to rearrange.
When can a storyboard be used? 

Storyboards can be used when we want to plan our story or animation frame by frame. You can also make changes to your storyboard before you start creating the actual animation or movie. This can result in better results in your final product.

Photography - Basics





This is a good picture is good as it gives the viewer the impression of speed as the background is blurred while the subject is still in focus. I think the technique used is moving the camera together with the moving subject. Source : http://tonyp.smugmug.com/photos/161888553_DSJMf-M-1.jpg
=============================================


I think this is a badly taken photograph as it is underexposed. It is very dark and the subject
 ( Woman ) cannot be seen. Surprisingly, it was taken with a Nikon D70 which is supposedly a good camera. The person should have either increased his exposure or aperture. Source : http://www.jocelynmathewes.com/blog/images/2007/20070520_underexposed.jpg
