Identifying Storyboards 4: Jurassic Park

In this storyboard, the language serves a narrative purpose. In other words, as the panels progress the language elaborates on the sequence of the action. The characters protrude out of the panels, signifying collision with units. For example, in panel 5 George proceeds to kick the raptor in the head, and as he does so the camera transitions to the raptor being kicked. Thus, the camera focuses on the force which is exchanged between characters, and in doing so, it descriptively visualizes the action that takes place. The last three panels are tri-shots, which are panels that elaborate on quick and sudden movements that occur in a matter of seconds. With this technique of storyboarding and character emotional expression, the viewer can get a true and realistic feel of character interaction.
