Script Writing
Script writing, sometimes called Screenwriting, involves creating an outline of all of the events taking place in an animation. This means detailing all of the audio such as dialogue, sound effects and music score. It also details all of the visual events or features appearing or taking place throughout such as fades, transitions from one scene to another, characters appearing, descriptions of the landscape etc.
In the commercial animation (and movie-making) world the script will be the first opportunity to accurately express the storyline and plot of an animation. A well-written script really helps to 'sell' the idea to prospective directors or studios who may be interested in the idea. This aspect of the pre-production process is really a very specific role which requires particular writing skills to do successfully - a reminder of the collaborative process typical of animation production.
When making a short animation a script may not be so essential to its success but as an exercise the screenwriting process is another way to focus thoughts and details.
What is a storyboard?
A storyboard is a visual representation of your script. It's a document that shows the narrative flow of your video, scene by scene. Most of the time, storyboards are made from hand-drawn sketches and notes scribbled in the margins.
1. It's the easiest way to share your vision
2. That's how you learn whether your idea works
3. Storyboards help to make the most of your budget
4. You'll be able to identify problems at an early stage
5. It makes the production process smoother
