Development
How to build a short film treatment
Describe the film a viewer will experience, with a complete ending and a clear dramatic change.
From the studio notebook
The journal.
Notes on film, visual storytelling and the choices that turn an idea into something worth watching.
Visual language
A storyboard that serves the edit
Plan the information, movement, and sound each shot contributes before polishing the drawings.
Sound
Why sound belongs in the first draft
Use sound to decide what the audience notices, then plan how the production will capture it.
