Storyboard task

Storyboard task

Daisy Jackson / 08/03/2022

Today, Matt told us about the importance of storyboarding and how it is essential for animation. He went through different camera shots and angles as well as showing us a video which explains these in an interesting way.

To help our understanding on conveying meaning and speaking directly to the audience - not confusing them with random camera angles, Matt provided us with a task. In this task, he gave us each a random word which we had to create a storyboard.

The word I got was: CRAFTY

At first I had no idea what to do! It felt like such a tedious word as all the ideas I had were very precise. This is when I thought about the setting and what I would expect if someone was showing me the word 'crafty' in a short movie.

I decided to plan my storyboard in a primary school where personally for me, had all the memories regarding crafts. I focused on different camera shots and the different materials used - which then combined together to create a final product. I also made use of annotation which described which camera angles. I used camera angles such as panning and closeups!

Here is my finished storyboard:


I am very happy with the turnout of this! The colour use helped the audience understand what they were looking at as well as making the piece more lively. I think I did really well for my first storyboard and will keep this in mind for the animation module. Matt did say I could probably include more interesting camera angles which I will definitely think about! I just thought it would be interesting to have different focus points. I definitely found this session helpful and enjoyable.

One day projects - week 2 - 'Happy Birthday'

One day projects - week 2 - 'Happy Birthday' Daisy Jackson / 31/01/2022 For today's one day task, David assigned us the mini project of creating a 4 panel story involving the song 'Happy Birthday'. In comparison to last week, my creative thinking has definitely improved as more ideas rushed to my head during the brief. Here are my plans: Despite how morbid a lot of these ideas are, I find them quite comical as the characters themselves are very strange. I have always loved my lumpy style and wanted to encoorperate it into a few ideas. A lot of these ideas involved characters being crushed and the other character being left horrified. That is when I came up with my official idea of fruit in a blender. Unfortunately, these two pieces of fruit had no idea what was going to happen. I decided to create the final piece digitally as I felt I could have a lot of fun with this and test out my skills. Often, I usually draw in simple colours. However, with this piece I wanted ...

Marbling Daisy Jackson / 14/03/2022 Today we were placed into groups and did a marbling session with Molly. I really enjoyed this session as I have often seen marbling kits and been quite curious about them. I never knew how to marble and am very happy I learned how! These are the results from today:

Creating my storyboard

Creating my storyboard  Daisy Jackson / 18/03/022 Today I decided to brainstorm ideas for a storyboard. This storyboard would be contributing to my introduction to animation module so I had to make sure I understood the concept and the idea I was going for. Originally, my idea was going to be a more scenic animation - focusing on the surroundings and then narrating the death of Marie Curie’s husband Pierre. However, I decided to have a different approach to this idea. The idea below is my original storyboard:                                                              I decided not to go with this idea as it was too bland for me. Yes, the angles were interesting and narrated the story in a dramatic and cinematic way but it was lacking some kind of substance.  During yesterday’s animation session (17/03/2022), Matt wanted us...
