Film Sketching - E.T.

I saw a blog post this morning on cartoonbrew about the value in sketching out a film sequence or even an entire film. (Check here for the original post: http://storyshots.tumblr.com)

It totally makes sense to do this as it forces you to notice all the different elements of visual storytelling. Below are some examples I sketched out the opening scene for E.T. and I've already learnt a ton. I didn't focus so much on detail as they are more like notes to myself than presentable drawings. I'm definitely going to do more of this when I have a spare moment.
