Filmmaking Basics/Thumbnail Storyboard/Step by Step/d

Excellent Decision!

You have decided to start the movie with this frame:

$\Rightarrow$ Fade In $\Rightarrow$

---

The Script

EXTERIOR - The local movie theater - NIGHT

(1) The Young Person and Old Person stand looking at the movie poster outside the theater.

---

---

Now Show The Poster

Since the first shot is the Young Person and the Old Person, now you must show the poster. (The script mentions the movie so we need to show what movie they are talking about.)

Next Frame?

Option A

You can then cut to the poster.

---

Option B

You can cut to the poster over the shoulder of the Young Person and the Old Person.

---

Now Decide!

• Select either option A or B
