Changes to Storyboard

Following the feedback from last term's assessment, one way I could improve my work was to add more variety to the shots I've used. I think that I used too many mid shots, therefore should consider using some different shots such as extreme close ups. In my production schedule, I'd already planned to use this week to revise my storyboard, as it is good to look at it with fresh eyes. I used a coloured pen to annotate each shot and how I could improve.

Most of the notes I made were to do with framing, to make sure I was using enough variety. I also made notes to myself about what extra details I need to include when drawing the more refined versions, such as what the background setting will look like.

Animation cinematography research:

• Pay attention to lighting to make it seem more realistic
• Adjust depth of field
• Try changing camera angles, rather than just using eye line view
