Story Board

When doing the story boards I was first trying to use the photographs along with words to tell a story. Secondly, i wanted to use 2 of the pictures given to tell a story. I wanted to try to use as little words as possible, which was somewhat of a challenge.

I always thought writing comics would be easy. However, after doing the storyboards I realized that it is hard to tell a story with only using a few words. I did as best I could to get a short story going with a beginning, middle, and end. When I went to do the second story board, I thought how can any of these pictures possibly work together? After starring at them for about 5 minutes and digging into my imagination, I was able to come up with a funny story, and an inspiring story.

For the first story board, my first 2 pictures were scene to scene. The second and third picture were aspect to aspect because nothing really happens, but there is a moral to the story.

In my second story board, the first 2 pictures are moment to moment because it takes more than 2 frames to tell you what happens. However, the 2nd frame and 3rd frame are subject to subject because the 2 charachters interact with one another. I did not understand these transitions 100% but think as i look at more (and better) examples of professional storyboards I will get a better understanding.

Overall, I think writing comics or making storyboards can sometimes be harder then writing a full length story, because you want to say so much, but only have a little bit of space to do so. I can see how this is a helpful way to brainstorm for movie producers as well, especially with all of the different scene breaks.
