Referring to the Storyboard! (Implementation)

The Importance of the Storyboard
For this project, me and my partner do not have an extract from a famous movie to reference like how we do for the swede. So, we often used the storyboard as our visual guide! Likewise, a storyboard is a visual plan made up of drawings that show each shot in a film before it is filmed.

During production, I made sure to have my camera in the right position to match the shot in our storyboard (Some of which had to be adjusted, which I will go over!)

Here are side-by-side stills from our final/good shots compared to the actual storyboard used.

Example #1
In this first example. not much changed besides the slight angle and the proportions. Doors are often used to media to show a new beginning. However, by using environment framing, it shows the door inside a frame which can conflict its meaning and tell us there is no beginning (same cycle of events).


Example #2
Next, similar to the previous still, it remains basically the same besides the proportion. Here, the unfinished cake serves to be a small hint or foreshadow of what's to come later on in the scene! In additon, it can also represent fragility of (personal) connections. 














Example #3

Lastly, this one had the most changes. Since we had moved the table, Lucille could not be "in" the doorway, and so we opted to making her more closer to the door than Steve. Though I do wished we had centered the flowers more to show opposite sides, the meaning remains relatively the same!
