Storyboard

For the first part of this assignment, I chose the image of the young girl in between trees. When I looked at this picture, I thought of being a child during the fall, exploring while on an outing with my parents. For the first iteration, I used only this picture and wrote up a narrative from the sense of being young and imaginative. After this rough outline, I decided the best image to go along with the narrative would be that of a road in the autumn. It gave the feel of a journey and went along with the seasonal theme that the first picture reminded me of. I then decided to separate the first title of the narrative and put it as a title in a bit larger font, to immediately give the audience an idea of the storyboard. This first image is aspect-to-aspect because nothing is really happening that directly explains the narrative, but the images coincide with the story.

For the second piece of the assignment, I used the image of people walking and covering their faces. This picture brings about a feeling of dread and tragedy, so I google searched for images that had similar connotations. I selected one of refugees in the Congo because it fit with the beginning of the narrative I had written for the first image. I then selected another from the class folder of the man praying. I ended my narrative with a picture I took while studying abroad in South Africa, and a quote that I heard once, “Resiliency can only go so far”. Though this gave my second storyboard a bit of a gloomy tone, I still kept it because that is the feelings that the pictures evoked in me and that is what I wanted to portray to the audience. This storyboard is the most like scene-to-scene, because though they aren't really displaying an action, they go alone with the written narrative and illustrate each section.
