New Storyboard

Final Storyboard

I had to be realistic, I really loved a lot of the scenes in my original storyboard draft but it just wouldn’t have worked out time-wise as I had so many scene changes that weren’t necessary for communicating across my message for my fable. I think that is the key thing to remember that this project is to communicate a message/moral and therefore I do need to be thinking how I can make sure that I have enough of the key scenes for the story to be conveyed clearly.

So for a while, I was contemplating having quite an interesting title for my opening, I wanted to have my young character asleep in the background with her backpack up close to the camera, then the next scene would be a close up on the backpack which would have the word ‘Yugen’ written on it. The screen would then turn black and the story would begin. As much as I loved this idea and if I do decide to come back and work on this animation I will try and incorporate this back in, however I realised time-wise it was not to work having such an extended opening and then have the rest of the scenes especially the ones at the end have enough  time to get across the central message of the fable.
