The relationship between storyboard script and editing

Usually there is a literary script first, and only the scene is written. For example, "The Tribulation of the Ming Dynasty", the first scene is as follows:

? Scene 1? Kaifeng? Tower? Japan? Outside

The sound of rapid breathing came from a soldier who was leaning against the crenels on the tower after being shot by an arrow.

The messy scene around him, with soldiers lying on the battlements holding muskets and aiming outwards, showed from the dirty and tattered clothes and exhausted state of the officers and soldiers that the defense was very difficult. These people who were struggling to survive could no longer care about the dying soldiers.

The dying soldier's last breaths were drowned out by other sounds.

With the shouts and flags of the commanding soldiers, the soldiers raised the muzzles of the cannons on the tower and fired out of the city.

Subtitles In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, in 1642 AD, Li Zicheng led his army to besiege Kaifeng.

Ming army soldiers: The Chuang army has retreated!

A Ming army general wearing armor was looking out from Arrow Stomp with a telescope.

This is the script. If it is a TV series, then it is enough. Generally, the director will shoot it directly. The director will discuss with the assistant director how to shoot each shot. . Because TV dramas have too many scenes, writing storyboards is too troublesome.

? If it is a movie, a storyboard script is usually written.

?

? Nowadays, everyone can draw a storyboard. A storyboard is what a shot should be shot, and what is shot is drawn. It's like a storyboard.

?

? But the situation in movies is different. Hitchcock would draw every shot before shooting the movie. Then the photographer would shoot directly according to the script without any room for creativity. Therefore, when editing, we often edit according to the script. If some shots are unnecessary, then they can be omitted. Small modifications.

? Tsui Hark can also draw scripts, but his scripts are drawn while filming. This is also the way many movies work, that is, they draw storyboards on the spot temporarily. However, Tsui Hark likes to change the scenes on the fly. , so the editor needs to sort out the context when reading the script. The script here refers to a literary script, a scene-by-scene script. Then he puts down the script, reads the entire material, and then edits according to the material.
