Hello, I am wondering, if any of you guys know any good (and ideally free or cheap) programs that I as a Director can use to do the blocking and shotlists for my scenes. I know, celtx has an option for a storyboard and similar in their premium version, but I wasn't a fan of it during my trial period. Thanks for any help or advice!

How To Separate Music From Voice Lines And Other SFX?

What do you personally pay more attention to?
I personally focus more on character development, because if the audience kn...

@Fabien I try to emphasise traits of the character that will serve to move the story/plot forward. Their internal world causes an action in external world so something else happens in story.

Photoshop or even something like powerpoint is an option if you are really looking to do a rough sketch.

An app I have used that works well is Shot Designer. It's free, but you can upgrade to a paid version. Works on Android and IOS.

Thank you all for your comments and advice! I agree that you should be fluid and be able to make choices on the spot. It's how I usually do it, but I also want to have a very rough version to visualize my idea to other people. I will look into StudioBinder and Shot Designer. Thanks again!
