This is where you can document all of your inspirational sources and ideas for this rotation.
Introduction to Storyboard
In our first lesson, we covered how storyboards can help plan out camera movements, resources for the scene, actors, planning and experimentation, and communication within team members. We also covered how composition, lighting affect the emotional response in a scene.
I was able to implement these principles in a quick panel drawing under the prompt “knocking down an antique vase.” I tried to experiment with dynamic camera angles, and show motion in the scene to convey the chaos that would ensue if the event were to happen in real life. This was a fun exercise in quick drawing and not fixating on small details.
Storyboard: Two Spies Meet in a Cafe
For this assignment, I chose the prompt “two spies meet in a cafe,” and created a comedic sequence where two spies imagine they are being discreet, when in reality their set-up turns more heads than intended. For this scene, I took inspiration from other comedy films and shows like “Ocean’s Twelve” and “Good Omens.” I went for a classic spy noir character design, which made the main characters stick out in the environment. I’ve compiled all my inspirations in a small mood board, as shown below.
I was unsure of how to end the sequence, but the critique session helped inspire some more ideas that I will be implementing into the storyboard.
Moodboard
This was one of the more fun assignments we received this week, where we had to reinvent a classic storyline. We chose to make a psychedelic teenage remake of Alice in Wonderland.
Although we accurately conveyed the visuals we were going for, I felt we could be more specific in terms of inspiration for location, costume, character and storyline.
