EP: Storyboarding the Introduction

As part of the introduction, Sylvia and I decided that we should use the first 30 seconds as a somewhat montage to set up the scene and give an audience the chance to discover what has happened to the character before placing her in the situation and watching the main narrative. We decided to this, as we felt that it would make the narrative a lot stronger, but would allow us to establish where the character is, what has happened to her and how it has happened without using up the 2 minutes for the film. This gives us more time to fit in character and plot development, ultimately creating a stronger story and one that is also more engaging.

Therefore, we deiced that the introduction would consist of six five second slips that switch between the character being in the alternate world and the character being in her natural world before opening up to the character exploring the alternate world in front of her.

Rough storyboard

I'm happy with the overall storyboard and feel that there isn't too much content. However, it will be a very quick sequence o shots, so I may have to revise some of the shots which I will do once I piece together the animatic.
