Task 4 - Storyboard

In a rush I chose the fight scene idea as I was just very excited to start working on it and creating it. 

This is the final story board I made for the idea that was later scrapped. Although it does not relate any more to the final outcome, I will still go ahead and explain what the story was and what this image means.

Starting from F1 (Frame 1) The camera is a first person view form the eyes of one of the characters, it zooms out now. Character 1 on the left (C1) punches but Character 2 (C2) Dodges. C2 blocks, C1 goes for another punch, C2 ducks and hits C1 in the his right rib as his hand makes the course of the missing hit. C2 hits C1 in the face and the fight carries on until C1 punches and knocks down C2 .

                                                   THE FINAL STORYBOARD

After having scrapped the fight sequence I looked back at my research and my ideas generation. I saw 2 ideas there that I liked and I decided to merge their ideas and add upon them to create a final storyboard. 

I wanted the animation to contain good camera work, reasonably realistic car movement, car body (chasis) showing suspension when it moves back and forth, car wheels and car shown turning. So having all that in mind I created this story board.

The scene starts with the camera being zoomed out from the rear bumper of the car. The camera goes to it's left and shows the back wheel of the car as it spins and burns with the handbrake still on. The camera goes further left and spins on top of the car and ends up on a bird eye view on top of the car. I car's front wheels turn to the right (left for the viewer's sight) and the car does a donut. The camera now goes behind the car and we can clearly see the back of the car (frame 7 as seen above) Now the car moves forward and the chasis moves to show real suspension. The car suddenly breaks and the suspension is further shown off as the car rocks forth. 

Camera goes to the right, the front tyre is shown to turn right and the car goes right. The same scene is replicated on the other side as the car turns left. Now the camera goes on a side view of the car and the car starts to drive off, at first it is slow and it will show some rocking of the chasis that shows suspension in action while the car changes gears. As the car changes gears and moves, the camera zooms out further and the car drives off.
