So far...

Since composing my storyboard, it has enabled me to visualise imagery for the film much more effectively. I can now plan where I will take my 30 images and what camera angles, props and lighting I will use...

I will use my own house (bedroom, bathroom and hallway) for the images.

Two plastic animal masks I already have.

And either myself or a friend as the main character (probably a friend as I can then take the images).

Storyboard for Film 1#

Binky

Ideas for first film...

For this first film we have to produce a concept that will be made up of photographic stills and then converted into a short 2min narrative.

Themes:

- Animals...My dog (Binky)
- A journey...A walk
- A significant event...Finds something:- a special pebble? a toy?
^too mundane???^

- A dream becoming a reality?
...waking up (daily routine)...keep looking to see things that suddenly aren't there any more.
E.g- squeezing toothpaste on to tooth brush...suddenly look again to see ketchup is coming out instead.

^Could be more effective. Has more depth to it, more interesting? More surrealist approach^

I think the latter idea could work much better in terms of keeping the audience interested and also in terms of being easier to film and control (too hard to get Binky to necessarily do what will be needed). I also think the idea sounds more fun in terms of being able to play with various techniques and materials when 'conjuring' up surreal circumstances.
