Intro to shots in comics

“

- [Instructor] As weird as it may seem to hear the term storyboarding when talking about comics, it's even weirder to read about camera movements in a comic script that you're drawing. Oftentimes, and I do this too, when writing a comic script a writer will speak of an imaginary camera that moves around the scene, to explain to the artist the type of shot they are looking for. Of course there is no camera, but it's a great way to designate the intended movement or imagery that's needed in each panel. So let's go through some popular shots, or camera angles, as you've seen in movies and comics, and talk about when you might want to try and use them and why.
