Storyboard

Referring to my research and the industry, I wanted to create a Storyboard to help me gauge a feel for my narrative.

Storyboard from "Lilo and Stitch"

Storyboard from "Lion King"

I research examples of Storyboards in the Industry and how they are used. From this research, I set myself the following productions aims.

-To create a storyboard with key narrative moments and visuals

-Use it to identify Any narrative errors

-Help create a continuity

-Use as a foundation for the forthcoming animatic.

This is the storyboard of the story i have written. i have considered camera angle to help convey the emotion of a character and or scene. Story boarding helps me identify key issues with a screenplay that may not be visible before the visualisation of a scene. It is also good to help a director and animator to get a feel for the world they are creating. Story boarding is an industry standard, used in all forms of animation production, keeping this practice relevant to possible future work.

Here is a breakdown of the scenes:

-set up the character as she leaves school

-her mother isn't there, must be working late

-Sadness is shown by Robyn (Camera Zooms out to show isolation)

-Walks home

-Arrives home at the same time as the mother

-Has dinner with her mum, before trying to run off to play. Shows relationship with mother.

-Mum pulls her back to do dishes

-Mum and Robyn have a talk about the father figure. Show her idealism and high energy. shows character flaw.

-Robyn goes and plays

-At the end of the day, a sleepy Robyn is tucked into bed by her mother

-Adult Robyn opens her eyes

-Walks around the city until she hears a distress call

-Helps a person in need using powers

-Confronts mysterious character

-Enter antagonist, an embodiment of her fears (Camera angles and POV help convey the sense of dread)

-Robyn attempts to fight the antagonist

-However, she makes a makes a mistake.

-Character hits her lowest moment as she is being beaten

I feel that the aims for my storyboard have been met. it helped me revise my narrative and cut unnecessary areas. It will also be a helpful foundation from which to create my animatic from.
