[From Script to Screen] 'Like for Like' Storyboard: War of the Worlds
For my 'Like for Like' Storyboard I detailed an approx. 30 second sequence from the "Abduction" scene of 2005's War of the Worlds as directed by Steven Spielberg.
The majority of this storyboard had been drawn before I'd gained knowledge and advice on how little detail was actually required for this storyboard to serve its purpose so I was obliged to keep this detail level. However after having learnt a lot about the do's and don'ts of storyboarding over the past few days and seen several examples of successful storyboards from people I can interact with, means I now know the right way of doing it and will use this newfound knowledge for my own eventual storyboard.

[From Script to Screen] 'Like for Like' Storyboard Plan - War of the Worlds
There was never any doubt in my mind what film I'd be using for my 'Like for Like' Storyboard, that film being Stephen Spielberg's 2005 adaption of War of the Worlds, a film that has remained my favourite ever since I first saw it.
