This week I developed a short narrative inspired by my previous drawings associated with hammers. The teacher told us to make a twelve frame storyboard, but I made mine sixteen frames. I guess this work ethic will stand me in good stead in the future.
Job interviewer: "What would you say is your biggest weakness?"
Me: "Sometimes I work TOO hard"
Job interviewer: "Congratulations. We think you'd make an excellent toilet attendant. Welcome aboard"
I have vowed to make my next storyboard digitally because I am utterly inexperienced with digital drawing and want to get my skills up, even if it ends up looking terrible. It would really help me to progress with photoshop, which is currently the most challenging part of the course for me. Also, computers are the way of the future and I don't want to be left behind.
In the meantime, I'm pleased with this storyboard, especially the way it flows and with the aesthetic of it. Visualising how the storyboard would look as an animation was very easy and I think the characters have a lot of charm to them. I needed to employ a wider variety of shots with this storyboard than in my previous storyboard about Old King Cole because the focus kept shifting between two characters, rather than fixating on one. To convey the story best, I used all my powers of animation to shoot the narrative as engagingly as possible. I could've added more detail to the background, I reckon. Hopefully enough context about where the characters are can be drawn from the fire, the trees and rocks scattered around and what the characters are wearing.

I used some of these shots:
 |
| Over the shoulder |
 |
| Close up |
 |
| Mid shot |
 |
| Over the shoulder again |

| Low angle |
