Our class project:

In preparation for a portrait shoot, create one storyboard and one mood board showing the details and ideas you want to explore or focus on during the shoot as well as the things that inspire you.

The storyboard should give us an idea of the different angles, frame options, poses and details you want to focus on in the photographs you will eventually create.

The mood board should give us an idea of your sources of inspiration, color schemes/palettes, outfit options, poses et cetera.

Our main objective for this class is to experiment with the different tools, techniques and processes involved in the pre-production stage, therefore by the end of this class, you will have created your own storyboards and mood boards. These can either be analog or digital, that is entirely up to you. The final outcome should be an A4 size (.jpeg) file with one or multiple sketches of your idea.

Materials Needed:

STORYBOARD:

Pen/Pencil.

Paper.

Tablet/Computer.

MOODBOARD:

Adobe Photoshop CC.

Paper.

Tablet/Computer.

I would love to see what you create so please be sure to share your storyboards and mood boards as well as your experience while making them e.g. breakthroughs, challenges, tips & tricks etc. both here on the projects page and on Instagram by tagging me @chrisdennisrosenberg and #ChrisDennisRosenbergxSkillshare for a chance to be reposted in my stories.

For further guidance, please be sure to download the supporting pdf attached below where you will find instructions and examples of storyboards and mood boards.
