Question 1

What is a 'master shot' in storyboard planning?

Accepted Answer

A wide shot covering an entire scene that establishes geography for subsequent shots

Answer

A master shot is a wide or establishing shot that captures the full scene in one take, providing spatial context for all the tighter shots that follow.

Question 2

Which storyboard annotation indicates that a character or object moves INTO the frame from outside the visible area?

Accepted Answer

Enter frame

An 'enter frame' notation tells the crew that a subject begins outside the shot's visible boundary and moves into view during that panel's action.

Question 3

In storyboarding, a 'pan' and a 'tilt' differ in that:

Accepted Answer

A pan is a horizontal camera rotation; a tilt is a vertical camera rotation

Answer

A pan rotates the camera horizontally (left to right or right to left), while a tilt rotates the camera vertically (up or down).

Question 4

What does 'motivated camera movement' mean in storyboard planning?

Accepted Answer

Camera movement that follows or is triggered by an action happening in the scene

Answer

Motivated camera movement means the camera moves in response to something happening in the scene, such as following a walking character, making the movement feel natural.

Question 5

Why might a storyboard artist use an 'over-the-shoulder (OTS)' shot in a dialogue scene?

To show the spatial relationship between two characters while keeping the listener in frame

Answer

OTS shots partially frame one character from behind while showing the face of the other, maintaining spatial context during a conversation.
