STORYBOARDING FOR GREEN SCREEN 

Reflecting on our tutorials and current week we’ve had, it was clear that we had to make something really soon. Our green screen session was soon and we have planned to create some storyboards and general planning moodboards to envision our concepts to life. We agreed that changing our film to a series of short clips featuring the characters we have created will not only be more time effective, but also works more effectively with our idea due to the fact that we are focusing more on the themes of characters, personas and identities. I feel far more strongly about possible outcomes and the future of this project than I did before, as I feel like it’s kore realistic but effective in putting our message across.

Props and objects were discussed to transform the character completely, and to add something more interesting when they are interacting with their space. Such as Ellie’s character, Diane (acted by me in the green screen soon) interacted with a cup of tea, a book and some glasses; these should really emphasize the idea of the character being a young person with an old soul and therefore makes sense for someone like me to model the clothing. We didn’t want to overly complicate these things at this stage. Storyboarding has helped add some dimension to the characters too as they have objects associated with them now.
