ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my special thanks to Arun Kumar Das, Sr.


Faculty of Ilead, who gave me the golden opportunity to do the
wonderful project on Visual narratives and sequential structure
(Paper Code PCA2-392) which also helped me in doing a lot of
Research paper and I came to know about so many new things I
am really thankful to him. Secondly I would like to thank my
parents and friends who helped me a lot in finalizing this project
within the limited time Frame and make my project a success.
Visual narratives and
sequential structure
Introduction Visual Narrative
A visual narrative (also visual storytelling) is a
story told primarily through the use of visual
media. The story may be told using still
photography, illustration, or video, and can be
enhanced with graphics, music, voice and
other audio.
A story can be defined as a series of events
that begin a conflict and then resolve a
conflict in a way that the story has both a
beginning and an ending. The main difference
is that visual narratives use images to tell the
story, while verbal narratives use words
Different type of camera angles
A camera shot is composed of the
series of frames that are shot
uninterrupted from the moment the
camera starts rolling until it stops.
Camera shots are an essential aspect
of filmmaking and video productions,
because by combining different types
of shots, angles and camera
movements, the filmmakers are able
to emphasize specific
emotions, ideas and movement for
each scene
Story boarding Shot Types
There are many ways to frame a subject within a shot, which can range
from showing their entire body to fixating on a finer detail, such as
their eyes. In choosing the most fitting shot, you’ll need to bear in
mind the message that you’re trying to communicate to your
audience.
Here are some of the most common types of shots and how you can
go about using them:
Often included at the beginning of a scene, the establishing shot helps
to build ambiance and may give a nod towards the context of what’s to
come. It generally comes in the form of a long shot and indicates
where (and sometimes when) the scene is taking place.
Full shot

The full shot is just as the name


implies and shows the entire
body of the subject from head to
toe. This shot tends to focus
more on the character’s
movement and gestures, rather
than their state of mind.
Medium shot

Also known as the 3/4 shot,


the medium shot typically
shows the subject from the
knees up. It allows the viewer
to see the background
environment and the
characters gesture, while still
being close enough to capture
their emotion.
Close shot
With a close shot, the subject’s
head/face takes up the majority
of the frame and therefore,
allows their reactions and
emotions to dictate the scene.
The subject becomes the
prominent focus and helps the
audience build a personal
connection, without being
distracted by background
interferences.
Extremely close shot
An extreme close shot is so close that
only one specific detail, such as a
person’s eyes or mouth, can be seen.
Because of the unnaturally close nature
of the shot, it should be used sparingly,
but when used appropriately, an ECS
can be incredibly effective at adding
drama to a scene. It allows the viewer
to see details that may have otherwise
gone unnoticed and can really
accentuate the emotions that the
subject is experiencing.
Up shot
An up shot is taken from below
the eye-level of the subject and
creates the perception that the
viewer is looking at them from a
lower perspective. This type of
shot can give the impression
that the subject is in some way
powerful, heroic or even
dangerous
Down shot

A down shot, in contrast to an up shot,


is taken from above the eye-level of
the subject and can make the subject
seem vulnerable or powerless.

creates the perception that the viewer is looking at them from a
lower perspective. This type of shot can give the impression that
the subject is in some way powerful, heroic or even dangerous
How to make a storyboard

images or photographs of stand-ins.
2. Provides a visual guidance for look, feel and movement.
3. Indicates the staging of actors and camera placement.
4. May include dialogue and sound direction.
