Storyboard

After receiving some constructive criticism from my peers, I've gathered my thoughts to the point where I'm ready to shift gears and really get going. In my previous post, I summarized the ideas I put together and how I planned to merge them into a cohesive sequence. It took some time, but I did it, and now I've begun the second step of my process which is constructing my vision and finally putting it on paper. In other words, story-boarding.

I've only ever story-boarded once for a music video, and that was with the assistance of Felipe Vargas, who I've mentioned previously. Aside from seeking his advice, I've looked into a couple links explaining and demonstrating the story-boarding process, a segment from Videomaker magazine, which provided me with some insight on how I should approach the process and what I should specifically focus on. I dusted off my knowledge on micro-composition and began to integrate different shots and angles into my sequence to give myself an even better idea of what I want to capture, how I want to capture it, and more importantly, what I can do to really emphasize perspective. Of course, the mise-en-scene elements will align with the traits of my characters as well as the time and place of my opening sequence: late at night in the main character's bedroom. That I'll cover in my next post when I tackle character introductions and script. So far I'm feeling a bit more relieved that I've got the ball rolling and have been able to put something on paper.
