Pre-visualization is an essential step in the creative process of making a film. Writers and directors for years have used storyboards as well as shot lists and overhead diagrams to create a “visual script,” experimenting with compositional elements before incurring the cost of production. These materials are usually the first visual expression of the script, the first translation of words into the language of imagery.

Learn how to use words to craft images in a reader’s mind and create a shot list that tells a visual story in words at an upcoming two-day course with author and Art Center faculty member Marcie Begleiter, author of From Word To Image: Storyboarding and the Filmmaking Process. The seminar, Storyboarding and the Filmmaking Process, will be held this weekend at The Writers Store in Westwood. Find out more and sign up at their website.
