Focus on the key elements– actor position, actor movement, camera movement. Other details need only be established in one panel Most directors work from a script, but Bong works from a storyboard — a tool used by many filmmakers, but rarely to the degree that the South Korean director does. The common way of shooting a feature film in Hollywood involves master shots, and multiple angles and camera shot types to guarantee as much coverage as possible, so the editor can have various options when putting the film together. But, as an in-depth profile with Vulture revealed, Bong does not shoot coverage. Instead Bong shoots exactly what he imagines, editing as he directs, based on his storyboards that he draws before the cameras ever start rolling. Chris Evans Admits He ‘Didn’t Quite Get’ the ‘Snowpiercer’ Script — but He Always Trusted Bong Joon Ho minutes • Color • Dolby Atmos/5.1 surround • In Korean with English subtitles • 2.39:1 aspect ratio In this exclusive clip from the Criterion release’s storyboard comparison feature, fans will see both full scenes and Bong’s detailed drawings playing out next to each other to emphasize how the director realized his vision. It’s art in and of itself.

Before he begins filming any of his movies, director Bong Joon-ho draws out storyboards for every single shot of every single scene of the film. From an interview with Bong in 2017: So metaphorical: the Palme d'Or and Golden Globe Award?-winning, Oscar?-nominated film as a graphic novel drawn by Director Bong Joon Ho himself. I'm always very nervous in my everyday life and if I don't prepare everything beforehand, I go crazy. That's why I work very meticulously on the storyboards. If I ever go to a psych ward or a psychiatric hospital, they'll diagnose me as someone who has a mental problem and they'll tell me to stop working, but I still want to work. I have to draw storyboards. Ki-woo’s friend, Min-hyuk, pays the Kim family a visit. While there, he offers Ki-woo a job tutoring a teenage girl, Da-hye, from a wealthy family. Plot Point OneThe storyboards are the crew’s playbook– diagram both the what and how of every camera movement, and every character’s position It’s at this moment Ki-woo and Ki-taek’s worlds collide. Throughout the film, Ki-woo has remained an optimist; he genuinely believed he could one day climb the social ladder and be rich, too. Ki-taek knows the perils of capitalism all too well. We hear about the various jobs he’s held over the years, and one way or another, everything has gone belly-up. its really interesting to read how everything came about - i didnt know one of the main character's name - jessica - was actually inspired by jessica from SNSD girls generation omgggg. and there was also an extended version of jessica jingle!! certain scenes like shoplifting a neighbourhood store was also shown in the storyboards as well, which was not shown in the movie. i watched the movie 2 years ago so honestly couldnt remember certain points/spot any difference as i was reading so i decided to spend some time rewatching the movie. so glad that i did bc found myself enjoying + appreciate this book more!!! There is nothing more exhilarating than having little knowledge of a film before experiencing it, and emerging with a plethora of theories, questions, and philosophies after going in for the ride.

Its fluidity to move across genres, the incredible pacing and storytelling, the ambiguity of its title, and the film’s multiple layers and depths of social class disparity, were all so flawlessly woven to deliver a modern, tragicomedy masterpiece that eats your cinematic soul. It’s even more impressive when you dive into Bong Joon Ho’s galaxy brain through his storyboards and screenplay.We learn everything we need to know about the Kim family within the first few minutes. Their living situation, their inability to hold down jobs, and their inability to have reliable internet paints a stark picture — they are destitute. Inciting Incident After Ki-woo impresses the Park mother, Yeon-gyo, he sees an opportunity when she brings up wanting an art therapist for her son. The game is afoot... Rising Action There’s also Moon-gwang and her husband. Geun-sae literally comes across as parasitic in the way he hides in the Park home undetected while stealing what food he can at night.

Two unlikely families collide when unemployed Ki-taek's son Ki-woo enters the Park family mansion for a job interview. Actors Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Choi Woo-shik, Park So-dam, Jang Hye-jin, Lee Jung-eun, Park Myung-hoon, and others deliver excellent performances while Bong brings his sharp observation, imagination, and compelling story.a graphic novel in storyboards????? YES PLS JUST WHAT I NEED!!!!!!! honestly this is my first time coming across a very detailed movie storyboarding in a book. Some images are not an actual photograph of the product but from an artist rendering impression. These images will also look different from the actual product. The continual bringing up of “What’s the plan” indicates all the pressure on Ki-taek to provide for his family. And he just can’t do it. The pressures of his life have worn him out, and it’s easy to imagine a scenario where the same mindset could set into Ki-woo. Bong adds, “The storyboards show in great detail how the shots will be constructed. They can be shot exactly as drawn and serve as valuable blueprints for the crew members. The finished film never deviates far from the storyboards, and this allows the crew to trust the process. Crew members who have worked with me in the past are especially aware of this.” New program about the New Korean Cinema movement featuring Bong and filmmaker Park Chan Wook ( Oldboy)

It Lives Inside’ Review: A Generic Horror Movie Tries to Mine Scares from the Complexity of Being a First-Generation Immigrant Ki-woo’s sister, Ki-jung, fakes having qualifications to be an art therapist and gets a job. They then plant the seeds to have the Parks’ driver fired to get the Kim father, Ki-taek, the position. It all leads to the greatest scheme of all to get the loyal housekeeper, Moon-gwang, fired so that the Kim mother, Chung-sook, can get the job. They succeed. Midpoint The book has already been released in Korea, and Through the Viewfinder did a 5-minute video comparison of the storyboards with the filmed scenes for the peach fuzz montage scene (and another video of the flood scene). Those aren’t the only parallels in the script. Here are some other lines that correlate to one another. Think like an editor–“storyboars [are] essentially pre-editing the film”; be careful not to storyboard things that are impossible to shootSo metaphorical: the Palme d'Or and Golden Globe Award® -winning, Oscar® -nominated film as a graphic novel drawn by Director Bong Joon Ho himself. Have fun while you storyboard– Bong Joon Ho draws devil horns on his characters “when they’re being bad” This is so metaphorical.” / “Wow, this is so metaphorical. Look Dad, we’re eating in a driver’s cafeteria right now.”
