In-Depth Information
Sometimes the camera moves cover such a great distance that they cannot be contained
within one standard-sized frame. If the camera follows beside a cat as it walks across a
fl oor and jumps onto a windowsill, this is referred to as a tracking shot. It may be necessary
to show the distance covered as a storyboard panel that is wider or higher than normal.
The character can be shown at two or more positions along the way. A framing box would
be shown around several character positions to explain how the camera is framing the
character at different points during the action. Once again, these framing boxes can be
connected by arrows or lines.
Sometimes zooms and pans or zooms and dollys, called zollys , happen at the same time.
If camera moves are important to telling your story, then you are responsible for showing
them. You may choose to show it with framing boxes and arrows or as a series of individual
drawings on different panels. You must be clear about what you are trying to show so the
storyboards depict how the fi lm version of your story is going to read.
