(RE)Storyboarding Movies: Framing Story is a 1-day all-levels workshop at The Art Club focused on strengthening cinematic storytelling through film analysis. One of the best ways for storyboard artists to fast-forward their career and deepen their storytelling skills is by unpacking films and deconstructing how and why directors and cinematographers make their creative choices. Through the study of three different film examples, students will explore framing, composition, staging, and visual storytelling through redraw exercises, note-taking, discussion, and hands-on storyboard exercises. Artists will learn what to look for when studying film and how to apply those cinematic ideas directly to their own storyboard work, all while having fun creating stories with a pen in hand and gaining a deeper love for film!
During the workshop, you will learn to:
Analyze film scenes through the lens of storyboarding
Study framing, composition, staging, and cinematic storytelling
Redraw movie frames to understand visual decision-making
Apply film techniques to original storyboard ideas
Develop stronger visual storytelling instincts and clarity
What You’ll Make: Film study sketches and notes, cinematic breakdown exercises, and original storyboard concepts inspired by the techniques explored during the workshop.
