Project Development Storyboarder and shot ideas

-

 It is a vital factor for a good final project to have proper development.

That is why I started developing my ideas using Wonder unit's Story boarder


I selected the blank page option in order to experiment further with this new software and also to start creating a brainstorm of ideas.

Firstly I had an idea on how to start my video. Using Story's boarder's camera and a human model I got the idea of showing a man with a bad posture due to the hours that he spends on his device in social media




Adding props to the screen and moving the camera gave me a lot of ideas on how this scene could be executed in order to have a deeper impact to the viewer's mind. Then I added a new board and used the tools in order to see with what question I can start my documentary.



I added a new human model to try and create a small scene so I could slowly start to build up my storyboard. I made the figure a female teen so it would be more realistic and could relate to the people helping me make this video by participating in it.




Afterwards I rotate the angle of the camera to create a more sophisticated shot.

Once I established the various ways that this documentary will be shot I started thinking about the small story I want to include in the video. Besides the answers to the questions asked I will include small sketches with the people based on the answers given. 



The pictures above are testing images to see which approach of the two characters inspires more emotion.

The story I want to tell is that social media helped society by helping people communicate through this rough times. Some people were unable to see their loved ones due to lockdowns and canceled flights.

I wanted to include a shot that showed how the world has changed during the spread of this decease.
I recorded



Reflection: Planning the shots that I could use for the video was really helpful. I want to improve my script writing skills and using this application can help me achieve that by writing and experimenting with camera angles, people and props. This is something that can be very useful during my next academic years as a film student.

    Great that you have tested this software and started created your storyboard. It would be best to see a completed storyboard that shows the structure of your video, key scenes, commentary on the type of shots and narration included.

About Me page on my website

  About me page: I wrote a small paragraph discussing who I am, what I am doing now and what are my intentions for the future. Also I included some information about my educational background but also my experience in my field of study. I have been experimenting with the tool bar to edit how my text is being presented to the viewer and did some adaptions to my written text. Furthermore I changed the background to the one with the New York skyline so my Welcome page and the page about me can be related as the pages to introduce and talk about me. Afterwards I added a professional picture of me taken at Bristol UK. I made sure that I chose a picture that makes me look confident in order to appeal more to my viewer that I am a student with passion and certainty. In order for the "About me" page to be relevant to the other pages I changed the background and changed the font of the letters. The background is a video footage that I took last year on a Christmas market at the centre...

  As a session practical exercise we had to brainstorm 20 ideas in 20 minutes It is important that when an artist is generating ideas, he should present a variety of topics  I finished the 20 ideas afterwards and here are the final ideas. Lets go through them together: All the ideas from number one to number seven are Covid-19 related. All this ideas are various things that I think could make a compelling video idea.The other ideas are fun little experiments I want to make. For example ideas like the one with the animated character in real life and the called "Small things that we all do and nobody admits" are some fun concepts for small videos.In this mix there are also some topics that I think can be discussed on a 5 minute long video filled with graphs and examples.This kind of ideas were " The false idea about video games", "Why animals do not have wheels?", "The electricity War" and "The evolution of species".
