Before developing my storyboards, I experimented with the lip sync animation we made previously. I shifted and analogous scheme to a complementary one to show the shift in emotion.
Power - Wolf > Girl
Composition- Lead Room - Shot A: Girl is stood on the right, looking right. No room left for the line of sight to give the feeling of claustrophobia, fear of the unknown and the idea of being trapped.
-Shot B: The Wolf takes up the whole frame to contrast shot A. The snarling nose is almost pushing against the side of the frame to build anticipation and the idea of complete power.
Colour
- Shot A : Analogous. Blue is the colour of despair, it washes over everything. The feeling of helplessness.
Shot B: Complimentary. Orange and blue
- Orange chosen to symbolize power - the orange mouth and eyes of the wolf .
Power - Girl > Wolf
Composition-Shot A: Dutch Tilt. Contrasts the balanced levels in the two previous shots --> signifying power change.
- Shot B: Negative space. Emptiness shows the diminishing power of the wolf. Significance given to the severed paw and blood as the only subjects.
Colour
Shot A - Triadic. Blue Red and Green. Red is more intense then orange to imply a viscous want for power. Green is introduced to disrupt the complimentary scheme --> another change, this time more violent.
Shot B - Trail of orange blood to show that the power has physically left he wolf, there for the girls taking. Return to complementary.
Power: Girl > Grandma
Composition
- Scale: Grandma is small in the corner, weak (Shot A). The girl is close to the camera (Shot A) and then is towering over the lens, filling all the screen. Similar to the wolf, taking up space infers intimidation.
- Orange light does not touch the Grandma through the window. Grandma has her back to it, nursing wounds. Power is left unguarded ready of the taking.Colour: Complementary scheme.
- Shot A : orange does not touch the Grandma, power is free for the taking and enjoying
.- Shot B: Orange light behind Girl. Almost has orange/power of her own but is still blue. The backlight is tinging the edges of her orange suggesting power is within reach.
Power: Girl > Grandma
Compositon- Contrast / Repeated imagery - the trophy (the wolf paw) turns into the Grandma's severed hand, revealing that she is a witch/werewolf. Identifiable by the ring.
-Centre frame - the centre of all conflict
-Symbol of her amputated power.vs Girl's hand in same pose clasping a rock to stone the grandma to death with and assume all primal power. Girl has fully obtained all power from the older woman. The girl prospers with the downfall of the senior.
Colour
- Analogous shots that contrast in saturation and hue --> Grandma has lost all orange and is bathed in blue, complete despair. Girl has almost lost all blue. Remaining blue encourages a cycle may start (and the circle of the ring) where someone in the future will come to assume power from the Girl too.
