Implementation - Story board

 Storyboard 

As I began creating my storyboard, my focus was translating our written script into hand-drawn, clear, visual moments. My goal was to accurately show blocking, camera angles, framing and character positioning. This would allow anyone who is looking at our storyboard to easily understand how the scene will look. 

Challenges : 

During the making of scene 1, I framed the shot tightly to focus on actor 1’s hand holding the phone in the foreground, with actor 2’s face visible in the background. I adjusted the spacing to make sure the phone screen was angled towards actor 2 while still allowing her eyes to show, capturing her changes of expression. I also added the shot type directly next to the pictures. 

For scene 2, I positioned actor 2 sitting with her shoulder just below the camera and the phone screen off centered in the frame (as the phone is facing her). I structured the frame so the audience can clearly see the dating app layout while keeping the over-the-shoulder perspective. 

Lastly, scene 3. I created a wide frame that shows both front seats of the car. Actor 3 is positioned in the driver’s seat as the primary focal point, while actor 2 is shown passed out in the passenger seat. I used spacing within the frame to establish distance between the characters and clearly indicated the left-side camera angle. 

Note : I also labeled the shot as a wide shot to emphasize the setting and full composition. 

When creating the car shot, I had to search up the interior of a car to ensure I was making the spacing in the drawings as realistic as possible. Doing this will also help me and my group decide if the camera angle we chose for this would suit the scene best.
