Updated Storyboard

 What's up bloggers,

In our film project, we set out to convey our main character's inner anguish as true to life as possible. Though we were initially happy with our storyboard, we quickly realized during shooting that several of our concepts didn't work as well as we had hoped. For example, we all decided that the scene with the gravestone was too harsh and removed it from the final edit.  

  

Our storyboard begins with an above view, laying the groundwork for the spectator to see the inner turmoil of our main character as he awakens and becomes noticeably disturbed by the sound of his alarm. We want to represent his inner anguish and aggravation as he moves through his congested surroundings in a low-angle view, pushing rubbish out of his path in despair. We enter a moment of self-reflection as we switch to a mirror shot, illustrating his discontent with both his look and the course of his life.  

  

As we cut to a scene inside his vehicle, we can see how stressed up our main character is and how reluctant he is to begin the day. He is shown talking with a background figure in an over-the-shoulder angle, which exposes his façade of contentment despite his inner troubles. We combine periods of delight with underlying elements of grief and loneliness as he seeks refuge on the swings, temporarily escaping his concerns. This culminates in a devastating fade transition from bliss to isolation, expressing the complexity of his emotional journey.
