Planning - Story board

Storyboard development

For our storyboard, I am going to create a visual that maps out key scenes from our script. This storyboard will consist of hand-drawn stick figure characters that are placed in each of the main settings to show, blocking, camera angles, and composition. Even though the drawings may be simple, they will show case our desired framing.

Note : Right now, I am planning out 3 scenes to add in my groups storyboard.

Number  1 - Medium close-up

The first scene I will be making will show a medium close-up of the back of actor 1's hand as she is holding a phone faced towards actor 2's face. The point of this is to show how actor 1 is pushing the idea of the guy (on the phone screen) into actor 2's face and to show actor 2's facial expression to the audience.

Number 2 - Over the shoulder

This scene will be an over-the-shoulder shot of the actor 2 sitting down on a couch, holding her phone and pressing the "like" button on the guy her friend, actor 1, suggested to her. Through the dating app layout I created. 

I chose this angle because it aligns the audience with the actor's point of view and lets viewers clearly see the phone. It also creates involvement, letting the viewers feel as if they're in the scene. 

Number 3 -  Wide shot ( car scene )

This final shot will include a left angles wide shot of the front seats in a car. In this scene actor 2 is seen passed out in the passenger seat. I chose to use a wide angle shot from the left side because actor 3 will be in the driver seat and during this time he will be the main focus. And I wanted to use a wide shot for this to establish the setting clearly as well as create physical distance, emphasizing vulnerability.  

This is a picture from the internet of long construction paper, which I plan to use

To go about this I plan to draw this on long white construction paper. This is because drawing on paper is easier for me, rather than using a drawing app online. I chose long construction paper because the last time I made a story board on regular sized printer paper, it was way too small and I had to squeeze the pictures in so they could fit.
