Week 6 {end}

It's the end of Week 6, and I must admit it has not been the most productive...

However, I have done some more research and started a new storyboard that explores the action in each of the girls scenes and shows where all my background concepts sit in the film.

 

I have been thinking that maybe I don't need to stay so away from her in my scenes... I do like the idea that it projects her loneliness and the feeling of observing her journey rather than interacting in it... but I think that the audience needs to connect with the character more than I originally thought... and I fear that my film maybe also be just too 'action-less' if she is constantly far away. I will explore this further after getting the feedback of my class!

 

Some of the research images i've collected that have influenced many scenes greatly are beautiful pictures of nature where I am suggested camera angles, colour and composition. When drawing out these two Story Boards I was thinking about composition, the flow of the film, peaks and slopes in the story/mood/emotions, her struggles, her personality, the music and colour... everything really, but especially her actions, or lack of.

 

My next steps will be to develop these story baords further, with more colour indication, and maybe review while thinking about the seasons. I will also need to explore the ideas for the opening scene and camera movement.

 

I have started a girl animation test, that I will do a few of and think about the plausability of my scenes and designs.

Also, this internet article on AOL has given me tonnes of insperation.
