Homework

DUE: First draft of story-board and script sketch. A storyboard is a visualization in drawing of the different shots (shot sketches) in the order they will appear in the finished work, and includes compositional information (close up, pan, wide shot, etc.). Your drawings can be very simple-stick figures even.
