Storyboarding

This week we created a storyboard for our action and adventure film opener. After lots of brainstorming, my teammates and I thought we should open the film with a bit of action. What better way to do this than a crime scene. Our movie will start with a bank robbery and on of the members of the group robbing the bank will be our main character throughout the film. The main character has a mother who is very sick and needs money to find pay for a very rare and expensive medicine. In the opener the main character goes home to her mother to give her some money and tell her that everything will be okay, before changing her identity and fleeing the country so that she doesn't get caught for the bank robbery. the film will be about the young girl's adventure and obstacles she has to overcome in order to get the medicine for her mom. In the opener we do have some symbolism such as the zooming in on the money bag and then zooming our to see a backpack that the main character is holding. This goes to show that the girl does not want her mother to know how she got the money for her. Carson, one of our group members, did most of the drawings such as the bank robbery and the scene where the main character visits her mother and then flees the country. Kelsey, another group member, colored in all of Carson's pencil drawings. I wrote all of the captions for each image to describe what is going on in each scene. As a team, Carson, Kelsey, Sarah, and I all worked together on the brainstorming aspect of the film opener to come up with the best opening we could think of for our film.
