Blog Post #40: Storyboard Pt.2

Since I created my chart for the plot of my film, I decided to finish the rest of my storyboard. The second part of my storyboard does not have any drastic elements in it, but I believe that it accurately displays my film in the way that I need audiences to see it as. 



So, here is the overview of my storyboard:




From afar, you cannot see every element of the storyboard, so I will go over each scene individually.


Starting with scene 11:


This is scene 11, it depicts how the main character doesn't feel as much anger towards their own phone anymore because their surroundings are settling down. It also includes a close-up of the main character which I believe is important to the scene so that the audiences can understand the intensity of the scene- how it isn't too bad.



This is scene 12, it shows the main character turning off the record player. Them stopping this record player can show that they're embracing everything that's wrong with their life. I think that this scene would be important for the purpose of my film because the whole point of it is to show how teenagers grow and shape themselves individually. For this scene I would use foley sounds, which I will create in a later blog post.



This is scene 13, the music obviously turns off, and it continues from the last scene. There is a pan going from the main character to their parents, who are now less argumentative. I think that parental problems at home can usually reflect how a teenager acts in other places, so this will represent those situations that happen to some teenagers.



This is scene 14, it shows the two characters walking together. These two characters are actually the main character and their friend. I will use a handheld camera shot while recording the two characters walking together down the hallway. This scene will allow audiences to understand that the main character is finally stepping out of their comfort zone.



This is scene 15, it shows the main character at work in their seat. There's distant sounds of people talking in the room (I will use foley for this), and the main character will hum. This scene will represent their acceptance of society and how often it changes. 




This is scene 16, it shows the main character working with their laptop while their phone buzzes on the table. This scene adds depth to the short film, especially since audience members will hear the familiar sound.




This is scene 17, it will show a closeup of the main character deleting social media apps. This will make teenagers feel somewhat of an urge to delete their social medias as well, after seeing the affect that it has on younger people. This scene will then fade into the next.




This is scene 18, it will show the main character cutting together and piecing together a pic collage of nature and photos that they feel a connection to. This scene will spark a curiosity in audiences because all of the photos together in a pic collage isn't something that people usually see. 





This is scene 19, it will show the main character putting the pic collage against their wall. This will show the audiences just how important the pic collage is to them. Since it's hung up on the wall, it can resemble their own expression.



This is the last scene! In scene 20, it has a first person point of view paired with foley sound of a hammer hitting a nail. This scene shows the handiwork of the main character which may seem out of character for a teenager, but it will show their efforts to change as a person. Then, the scene will end with a mid shot of the main character, and then it will fade out.



Overall, I believe that the second part of my storyboard will take longer to show, but it will give my character a better backstory for audience members. My second part also show the climax and falling actions of the plot, which will allow audience members to feel relief when they see that the main character finally feels happy with themself.
