It takes a while to complete, but if you know what you're doing, it becomes quite easy. Continue this for each shot you need, and once each shot is finished in the first sequence, move on to the next, and repeat this process until the entire film is complete. The image will appear in the box that once said. Find the shot you just created, and select it. Once that's all finished, go back to the storyboard screen and click the box above the box you selected that says, then your files should appear. Create the specific shot, select near the top-right corner, then save it to your desktop (ensure you can find it later, you'll need it). On the right side of the screen, there should be some tools to label some items/people. On this screen, you are able to draw/create the shot.

First, to start off the drawings, click on the bottom box. There are two boxes that are found under each shot title/type. In order to create a storyboard with CELTX, you need to follow a certain pattern. The only difference is that it is computerized, and the interface is easy to follow. The format used in CELTX is exactly like the format used in hand written storyboards.

Only after you finish that sequence can you then move on to sequence number two, then the shots would be titled shot 2.1, then 2.2, then 2.3, etc. If it was the very first shot it would be titled Shot 1.1 then go to Shot 1.2 then Shot 1.3, etc. and the second number is the shot in that sequence. EX.) Shot 4.11 The first number represents the sequence. The sequence number is the first number in the shot, while the number of the shot in that sequence is the second number. Also, number the shots in numerical order, while keeping the sequence number in mind. Then below that is the actual shot, where you will DRAW it in. Below the shot number and type is the shot description, which will explain how the shot works out. The shot number goes first, and beside it is the shot type (the shot type determines where and how the camera will be placed). The shots should be drawn in boxes large enough to fit 3 across the paper and 2 down the paper.

The format for the storyboard is the same for both the CELTX program and a hand written one. As explained in the previous step, the title of the sequence goes on the top left corner of the paper, and the shots begin below the sequence title. The next step will teach you about storyboarding skills.Ĭreating a storyboard by hand is very fun but time consuming, As it requires more detail. That's all there is to say about Scenes and Shots. Shots are titled with the scene # and the shot #- EX.) Shot 4.11 In this example, the shot is take place in Scene 4 and it is the 11th set of actions. There can be as many shot as you like in each scene, but make sure it is in a reasonable amount. These describe the specific actions that characters in your film perform. With every set of actions comes another shot.

Shots are every set of actions that goes on in the film. in this example, the sequence is inside (INT.), and it's in a school. All sequences must have a title. The title highlights whether the scene is inside or outside, and says where it takes place. EX.) One sequence will take place at school, while the next will take place at a local park. Normally sequences change with the setting. All storyboards have Sequence, which is an entire scene of the film.
