The steps for this lesson

 * Step 1
 * Complete the Quick Exercise which teaches you about over the shoulder shots. Send me your .previs file and I will send it back corrected.  (Please SAVED AS a cross platform file which is big and fast. This is one of the options when you save the file.)


 * Step 2
 * Create or download the movie set.


 * Step 3
 * Put your actors on the movie set.


 * Step 4
 * Create a rough version and send the .previs file. (Please SAVED AS a cross platform file which is big and fast. This is one of the options when you save the file.)


 * Step 5
 * Go to the next lesson which is on lenses and complete that.


 * Step 6
 * Return to this lesson and correct any shots which you need to correct and send me your final .previs file.

Creating a simple movie set

 * To do rough storyboarding with FrameForge 3D Studio, you do not need a movie set.


 * However, a movie set looks nice and helps you get orientated.


 * Therefore, I have built a movie set which you can download or there are optional instructions for people who want their own movie set.

Something's wrong!!!!

 * Above is a rough storyboard. What is wrong with it?

The mood of the lenses

 * All of the shots use the same lens. In the next lesson, you learn that different lenses (different focal lengths) create different moods.


 * By using the same lens, there is only one mood for the entire story. That is wrong!!!

Corrected Therefore, I start with a wide angle lens and end with a telephoto lens.

Eye direction

 * Watch the eyes
 * When two people are talking, their eyes are pointed the opposite way. One points left and one points right.


 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

Eyes right?

 * Not good
 * Both actors eye's point the same direction

Their eyes cross!

 * Better
 * The actors' eyes point in different directions.
