Getting A Better Understanding of Storyboarding - Lets go!
I didn't know a lot of the technical terms which are used during storyboarding so it was really good to become familiar with some of them before getting started on my own. I have come to understand the meaning of terms such as "Key Frame", "Paper Edit" and the "Rule of Thirds", which has really helped me a lot!
To begin with I used paper editing to get an idea of what frame shots would work best and what wouldn't. Having each shot on a separate sticky note made it a lot easier to move frames around and actually get a better idea of how it could look if it were to be animated, which was helpful since I am prone to being indecisive! This first stage was quite a quick process because I wanted to focus on the layout and making sure I used the space I had wisely.
The next day I continued with this but I now put more thought into the smaller details like characters and their facial expressions. I actually altered the mood of the story slightly by making it all a bit darker and put more thought into the use of media as well. After this second attempt I decided that I was going to stick with fine liner and pencil for the time being because I like the fact that it makes the whole thing seem just that bit more gloomy.
