Identifying Storyboards 1: Spider-Man

I consider a successful storyboard being able to portray the plot, action, movement of characters, and camera angles effectively, thus to impose a visualization of the final project in the minds of the viewers. This “Spider-Man 2” Storyboard effectively does so, however, in portraying purely action and movement. The arrows signify movement of the characters and miscellaneous items, which assist the viewer in conceptualizing how the action evolves and progresses. For example, when Spiderman pounces on Dr. Oct, the arrows follow his direction of movement while the oscillating lines implore impact. Furthermore, the language is either onomatopoeic, or labelling, meaning that no elaboration on the situation or dialogue is necessary due to the fact that the storyboard portrays only action.
