In today’s lecture, we got to learn about worldbuilding and its importance in storytelling.
Worldbuilding is all about creating a believable, imaginary world where the story takes place. It involves designing things like the world’s geography, history, culture, and even the rules that make it feel consistent and real.
We learned that worldbuilding is especially important when it comes to storyboarding. It gives the characters and plot a strong foundation to grow from. A well-built world influences how characters think, behave, and interact with their surroundings. It also helps keep the story logical and visually consistent throughout.
The visual side of worldbuilding was also emphasized. Things like the architecture, clothing styles, landscapes, and even color choices all stem from the world that’s been created. This helps give the storyboard a unified and engaging look.
Overall, I realised how important worldbuilding is—not just for making the story feel real, but also for keeping the audience invested. A strong, detailed world doesn’t just support the story, it becomes a part of it.
