The Prose Storyboard Language: A Tool for Annotating and Directing Movies

Graphics 2022-05-02 v5

Abstract

The prose storyboard language is a formal language for describing movies shot by shot, where each shot is described with a unique sentence. The language uses a simple syntax and limited vocabulary borrowed from working practices in traditional movie-making, and is intended to be readable both by machines and humans. The language is designed to serve as a high-level user interface for intelligent cinematography and editing systems.
