Implementation- Storyboard completion

 Storyboard Development

For the last three scenes for my groups storyboard, I followed through with my decision to move away from stick figures and draw full human figures instead. After completing my first storyboard frame, I realized that stick figures didn’t communicate my desired body language, framing or emotions. Since this is the visual pre-production, I chose to draw more detailed characters. This allowed me to plan each scene more accurately.

Challenges :

While creating these frames, I encountered some technical challenges in translating my ideas into visuals. These mainly involved framing proportions, positioning within the shot, and keeping the consistency with the previous three storyboard panel.

While making scene 4, the goal was to clearly establish the setting while showing both characters comfortably interacting together while on their phones. The main challenge here was drawing the characters to be the perfect size while making sure they don’t look too big for the type of shot, or too big. After adjusting their general positioning I was able to fit them perfectly. But this leads to the other issue I had while making this scene. Drawing their body language to look visibly ‘relaxed’ was also a challenge. Exaggerating posture and how close they were to each other helped me solve this issue. Ensuring they weren’t awkwardly far or close in my drawing is beneficial to the creation of my film opening as I saved time. 

In scene 5, this frame focuses on a close up of actor 2 pressing the heart button on actor 3’s profile. The purpose of this shot is to isolate her and emphasize the importance of this moment in the storyline. A challenge I faced is cropping my drawing perfectly. Too much background would reduce the intensity of this hot but if it was drawn too close it would cut off important facial features. 

Lastly, scene 6 was a car scene, filmed from the front perspective. Which is contrasting with the left side camera angle from the other car scene, highlighting the different emotions in the scene and the focus of the audience. A challenge I faced here was drawing the car interior from this angle. Since I only had previous experience from drawing the side angle, as I was drawing I realized it was starting to look like the other storyboard ( angled to the left ) instead of centered.

Note : To solve this I also searched a car interior from the front perspective, and used this as a reference as I was drawing the storyboard.
