Reflection
I made the first storyboard after the initial design of the characters. It lacked narrative direction but, after writing the script, I had a better sense of time, place and tone. A weakness of my final storyboard is the lack of camera movements used on each board. As this is a solo project, I know the boards make sense of me as they are my vision. In the industry, the storyboard would need to be clearer with more precise notes on time and lighting so that a whole team of animators could all work on the same scene. I think this board is weak for a group project but suitable enough just for myself. On the other hand, I think that this exercise has helped pace my animation, especially on how to amp up the tension steadily.
