CAN YOU TAKE AN ENTIRE FILM AND REDUCE IT TO SIX IMAGES???
Perhaps when the film is as iconic as PSYCHO.
So could you shoot a dozen or twenty images of your day — a ride on the metro – an open air
market – and reduce them to four images which could communicate what happened???
That’s our first exercise.
Sure, why not?
Every blog post I do is a storyboard of sorts with a beginning-middle-end/resolution.

This is such good advice for me. One of my weaknesses as a writer is self-editing (lol, as anyone who has read one of my 3000+ word blog posts will attest). Granted, more words sometimes are necessary to really fill in the story, but it is also vitally true that the story should have a spare but sturdy skeleton upon which to build. Thanks for this clear and concise example!
(BTW, my maiden name is “Bates” and I never heard the end of it with this movie and comments like “Is Norman your dad?” I wish I had thought to say, “Thanks for relating me to such an iconic picture.”)
