INITIAL STORYBOARD

 OUR MOVIE'S STORYBOARD

And just like that, our silly little ideas have come to life. I have to admit, it is quite rough, but no one's first draft is perfect. I'm sure that we'll find stuff that has to be tweaked; scenes to omit or add, shots that don't work, etc. For now though, I'm glad we have this to work with.

STORYBOARD

EXPLANATION

In short, the movie opener will show a flash-forward scene, our starring character sitting in a dressing room and crying. She will be preparing for some unknown show that we can hear muffled music blaring from. Suddenly, someone knocks on her dressing room door, informing her that she will be, "on in fi-", then we are transported to the present. Her mother yells at her to wake up, and she does so as the credits begin to roll. She gets ready for the day, brushing her hair and getting her school papers in order. Making her way to the kitchen, she is met by her mother, who has some pancakes waiting for her. She takes one bite and they are off as to not be late. They get in the car and begin to make the commute to school. Once they arrive, the girl gets out of the car and is given a loving message from her mother. Embarrassed, she walks away. The girl is timid and looks at her feet rather than the people around her. She stops momentarily as she finds her foot hovering over a poster with an enticing message for anyone wishing to be a performer.

GROUPWORK

Working with my team was a fun experience. We make a lot of jokes through the process but still power through and get things done. In terms of splitting up the work on this storyboard, it all began with Nicole coming up with the key aspects for our story, fine-tuning details after we had all agreed upon the main theme and plot. Sarah took the duty of artist for the pictures seen on the physical storyboard. I then took over and added the technical terms and important things that couldn't exactly be drawn.

Our movie will be highly lit, due to the reasons that we are not equipped to create a specific kind of lighting such as three-point and it's going to be quite lighthearted and coming of age. One of the more challenging aspects was allotting set times to each shot. They are very rough estimates, so the end result likely won't be the same as what's on the paper. These are some of the main issues encountered, but otherwise I think it went great.

I'm proud of what we achieved, and I hope most of it makes it to the big screen!
