This is sample of what a scene breakdown looks like.Devil May Cry: the Animated Series Volume 1ĭevil May Cry: The Animated Series is an anime based on the video game series created and owned by Capcom. It's also the foundation of identifying your project's budget (which we cover in another post). What are the locations? Costumes? Props? Sets? Who are the cast members? How important is each element, and how will it look?Īll of these elements affect what will eventually needs to be included in the storyboard. Now we can immediately click-and-drag to identify key elements. We’ll import our script into StudioBinder, and automatically get all our scenes lined up. Preferably you'd use script breakdown software, but you can still do this the old fashioned way if you like. Every scene's markings would then be summarized on a script breakdown sheet, printed, copied, collated, and distributed between the production staff.īut we live in a digital world and we need to be able to share our breakdowns in the cloud, and make adjustments without the rigmarole of printing. If we went back two decades, marking the script would commonly be done with highlighters and pens right on a print-out of a script. The breakdown shapes the vision of the project. This phase is considered breaking down the script (aka "marking the script") where you highlight all of the key elements that will affect the storyboards.Īnd so the very first step is to read your script and visualize it as an audience would. The physical space, wardrobe, blocking, staging, action, etc.
This means considering the details of every scene. Mark up your screenplayīefore you start gathering images, drawing storyboards, hiring a storyboard artist, or doing any nuts-and-bolts illustration and previsualization work - before you even ask, “What does a storyboard look like?” - you’ll need to know what story you’re telling.
