Storyboarding

After gaining more in-depth knowledge on not only my character but sequence of the opening as well, a journey I documented in previous blogs, I decided it was time to begin my storyboard. The pictures linked below presents all four pages of the storyboard I have completed. 

In my storyboard, while focusing on how visual elements will construct my plot and translate my message effectively, I also attempted to demonstrate the editing, sound, and mise-en-scene aspects that I will incorporate. For example, I illustrated transitions that I will add from one shot to another, establishing my character's routine in a coherent manner and also allowing for my time to be less consumed, permitting that I get through everything I hope to. Moreover, I demonstrated shots depicting the character's chaotic room, embracing the mise-en-scene in my opening. Throughout the storyboard, I also attempted to speed up the routine illustrated. As can be seen, the first cycle includes more specific shots, including the character walking through the door. As the loop continues, however, the shots become less detailed, capturing more general moments. For instance, a single shot of the character simply sitting in the classroom as opposed to the previous close up of the notebook along with it. 

I feel this storyboard has really helped me visualize my concept and film in a more productive manner. I now feel more secure that I am prepared to commence my filming journey, making my project come to life at last.
