Studio Brief 2-Telling Stories (Final)

 Telling Stories-Final                       Jack and Jill

 This is the final storyboard of Jack and Jill. I have added subtle colours so that what is going on in each panel is clear and can be understood by whoever i show it to. I have written the camera movements and basic stage directions in the lines at the bottom, this is for whoever i would give this to as they would need to know the directions and angles to shoot each panel with. I have also put the rhyme in the columns so that it can be understood more for motions and movements.

 If i were to do this task again i would do the whole thing digitally to try to practise using it more often as i need to get used to tablets. I would also add more arrows indicating directions because even if it is obvious to me it might not be for someone else so that would be to stop any confusions or questions from the animators.

The audience i was aiming at would be all ages, even if children would not catch onto the relationship between the two, they would still be able to grasp the core concept that the rhyme was showing. Older people will be able to fully understand this sequence and all that it is telling them about the people and story.

My media choice is pen and coloured pencil in areas. i chose these two as the colours add subtle details where they could be lost otherwise, like on the cotton wool there was blood from his wound. The pen is just a good medium to show characters and whats happening in a scene very easily. 

For lighting i had the scenes set during the day apart from when Jill is helping Jack home as it is night when they go to bed. I have also used crosshatching where needed to show light, for example when it is looking at his desk as there is clearly a lamp from the shadowing shown.

When drawing the  scenes i really tried to concentrate on where the camera was and how i could make each shot interesting but also relevant so there were no slides that there didnt need to be and none that were too similar which would be boring to look at if they were all the same.
