📖UPDATED STORYBOARD📖

 Hey bloggers,

    As we start to update and add new ideas to our project, it is time to make a new storyboard. We initially were happy with our original idea, as it was all planned out and seemed to be good. However, as we started to record, we noticed that some of these initial thoughts were not going to pan out well. For example, that scene at the beginning where we wanted to foreshadow our main characters death with a tombstone seemed a littttlleee too harsh so we decided to scratch that idea.

    In the first box, we wanted to incorporate an overhead shot to be able to get a clear view of his facial expression during this rough period of his life. This scene includes him waking up, while wiping his face in frustration as he hears the irritating sound of his alarm going off. This was the perfect start to our film. In the second box, we use a low angle as the camera looks up to him getting out of his bed, kicking all the clutter on the ground out of his way. We wanted to show that he is the main character in this situation and the one with the most power, as this frustrated state causes him to act in ways that are not needed. All the clutter on the ground is supposed to reflect his rough mental state. Moving on to the third box, we included  a shot where our main character is in the mirror. He looks frustrated and dejected, as his life at the moment is not going his way at all. Mirrors are a time where self reflection takes place, at least for me. He is looking at himself, unhappy with his physical appearance, wishing that he looked better. In the fourth box, it's a simple under the waist shot as we show our main character walking to his car.

    In our fifth box, we have our main character in the car by himself. He starts the car, looking frustrated and is not looking forward to his day. He places his head on the steering wheel, in clear distress as you hear him put the key in his car and the car starting. Our camera is in the car with our main character. In the sixth box, we implemented an over the shoulder shot with our background actor being the one whose shoulder we are recording after. We use the over the shoulder shot to show conversation, while our main and background character are talking about how they have been recently. Clearly lying, we have our main character saying he has been happy, when he hasn't. In the seventh box, we have our main and background character having fun on on the swings, clearly enjoying their time. We incorporate a low angle during this scene. You can also hear jovial music, just to show this is a fun part in our main characters rough life. Lastly, in our eighth box, we used a fade transition to go from the fun and sunny part of our main characters day, to the lonely, dark moment of his life. We felt this was a perfect scene just to show his devastating life.
