WEEK 9

Storyboard (27/05/2021)

After we had finalized our story and script. We are required to start to draw each scenes of our story into a storyboard. This really took a lot of time for me to work on. It wasn't as easy as I thought before I start to sketch. I used almost 7 days sitting infront of the computer to draw more than 100 shots in Photoshop. 

After finishing all the sketching, I had a short meeting with Mr. Martin in Zoom to consult the storyboard. Mr. Martin deleted some extra scenes and told me to changed some perspective and angle. According to the feedback given by Mr. Martin, I changed what he had mentioned and added some description and thumbnail for the storyboard. As a result, below is my final thumbnail version storyboard :
