Major Project: Storyboard

In this post, I will detail the creation of my storyboard for my script on the theme of grief and loss.

This storyboard is based on the initial sketch I have made, which can be found in my previous post. Since I don't have a ruler, I created the boxes using a rectangular shaped material. I ended up using my Canon battery charger. I also drew the whole storyboard using pen as I don't have pencil and eraser.

The storyboard consists of 16 boxes, including one box that has two shots and another box that has three shots. In total, I drew 19 different shots based on the sketch. I divided the 16 boxes based on its story arc, so in the end there was four main boxes. The first one depicts shots mainly in arc one. The second has shots from arc one, but is transitioning to arc two. Then, the third box has only shots from arc two. Finally, the fourth box is mainly dominated by shots in arc three.

That said, arc one should be the beginning of the story, with arc two being the middle and arc three being its ending. As I drew the storyboard, I realized that while most stories have the start of the problem begin in arc two, I feel that the problem has already started way back in arc one, which is interesting. I also realized that to make the climax, I feel that the argument and talk in arc two to three between the characters has to have a tense mood and dialogue. Charlie is very good.

    Good that you posted this Charlie. In the development of your storyboard, consider having an action section - where you talk about the primary activity inside the shot and having voiceover notes. This will help you with the development of your script. Also include the frame numbers. You also need to post your storyboard research, as you must have done some research to draw this storyboard.

Website Research: Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke

Image
In this post, I will look into two websites by filmmakers and compare both of them. This research will help me on creating my own website by considering the use of colors, layout, typography, image, useability, navigation, and my overall thoughts on the website. I will be looking into Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke's website, with both being filmmakers and quite experienced in the filmmaking industry. I would like to learn from two websites of two very different directors, with Kore-eda a 60-year-old filmmaker that is internationally known, and Cooke a young freelance filmmaker. Hirokazu Kore-eda's Website First off, I will talk about Hirokazu Kore-eda's website. From the home page, the website looks very simple, with a showcase of stills from his films. I noticed that his website only consists of Top, News, Profile & Works, as well as Message in the navigation, with the layout being centered and in a long bar. When I scrolled down, there is his twitter feed, news f

Website Creation: Gallery Page

Image
In this post, I will talk about the process of creating my Gallery page for my website. Because the layout of the gallery page already exists, I don't have to choose a template. The font I will be using Avenir. I began by editing the "My Gallery" section on top, then I wrote a short description on it as well.  Moving on, I moved on to the projects. I deleted most projects that the website has, and included my project, which is Grief & Loss Script, a 10-15 page long script on the theme of grief and loss. In it, I also included pictures of my script and my Milanote. In the future, I will be updating this project section with my progress on the script. After finishing the "My Gallery" desktop page, I moved to edit the mobile version. I changed the title to 24px and the description to 14px. I also tried to change the size of the project since it's too small, but after trying it, the size can't be altered.  With that, I had finished my Gallery page. Check

Reflection: Moments of Sorrow

Image
I gained an interest in theme of grief and loss through films and through my own concerns. I feel that the theme itself is very heavy, and is a challenge to write because of its complexity. However, I wrote this story for more personal reasons. I often thought about whether or not I will be ready when people I loved died, and how I will be able to move on from those moments of sorrow. As such, I feel that this is personally a way of preparing myself to face that fear. Along with this, I wrote this story because I want to not only understand the nature of grief and how it affects people, but of how we can move forward from an unforgettable loss of a loved one. As an aspiring filmmaker, I am very much eager to learn about all aspects of filmmaking, especially writing which I view to be the most important aspect of films as its often the core of the story and film itself. As such, this project has helped me to do more writing, especially in terms of having to fit the story into only 15 pa
