#9 Story Board

I enjoyed doing this assignment because it allowed us to think outside the box. I guess we generally can look at a picture and infer the situation behind it and see what is going on however we never really notice that we are doing it. Creating these storyboards was a good way to see how your mind works when given an image to decipher. The first story board with just one picture was easy to do. I chose the picture of the men walking through the road with masks on from the dust and smoke. I infered that there had been a forest fire and their houses had been wrecked. I actually wrote about the four pictures that I could visualize leading up to this event and then I went in and found the pictures. The second storyboard with the 2 pictures was a little bit more difficult. I couldnt really tie any of the pictures to one another. I decided from the begining that I wanted to do the soccer picture so I created a story based on what I knew from that picture and then went from there. I knew that the boys were standing that way because they were trying to block a penalty kick so after I wrote about that I chose the picture of the man because it looks as if he is anticipating something, like a game winning soccer goal. This led me to find a picture of a goalie missing the ball and a picture of the crowd cheering for their team. For the first storyboard I used scene to scene. The images just go from one to the other hand you dont really need an action to see what is going to happen next because it is infered. For the second storyboard I used action to action. You really had to place an action for each of the images because to really feel the anticipation behind the story.
