Storyboarding - Preparation

For the remainder of the semeseter we have 2 remaining projects, instead of just supplying us with the project they have over the past couple of weeks been preparing us for it. Within the first week we had a creative writing week dealing with the 'figure' creating a character. We began by bringing in a photograph of ouselves as a child and then we would swap the pictures and then explain the charecter from this images with the lack of knowledge of who it is.
We then created a story from this, the exercise was there to delve into more depth of the act of storytelling.

For the second week i have worked with Pierre Thome the course leader - we looked at the art of storyboarding, each day we were given an exercise involving the different aspects that need to be taken into consideration when creating a storyboard / narrative / comic.

1. we were asked to draw a self portrait for a political campaign
2. to draw a location 4 different ways
3. my favourite was to draw our biography in 4 images (images will be posted soon)
4. We were given an article and then asked to create 1-12 frames to interpret the story however we see it.

This has been a very beneficial week, i feel i have learned a great deal in terms of how to go about creating storyboards and how to visualise a story to produce certain meanings more effectively.
