Story Board

 In class on Tuesday we made sure to finish our story board. Even though story board art does not have to be perfect, I have bad handwriting and horrendous drawing skills even for a story board so Julia wrote and drew most of it. In the story board we included both a visual of the kind of shot we want and also a description of that shot. 

Today in class we did a visual analysis essay and I thought of this when coming up for what we should include in our story board. I wanted to make sure that our shots had meaning to them and that there was some sort of symbolism in our film opening. 

I've written about a couple of examples of our symbolism throughout the blog so I will have to provide a different example. We chose to include the shot of the main character Gabriel scoring a goal because it helps to showcase that Gabriel is actually talented at soccer. This piece of information will be essential to including in our story because it illustrates that he has potential and should be supported. 

There were also other shots that don't have as much meaning but are more to add to the flow of our piece. For example, we would like to include a variety of different shots and angles to make it a more engaging watch.
