Before Groups were decided upon and we would be doing this project as a group, we were to do our own storyboards, development and characters to pitch to everyone first.
Storyboard Thumbnails
Our first task after reading the script we were given was to go and make as many thumbnail sketches of our storyboard ideas as possible that would be changed many times and developed before creating a final storyboard. My main ideas were to have the girl be very imaginative and would make a very poor job of dressing herself up, but in her eyes she would look like the real Dracula and be able to change into a bat and fly to school. I originally wanted her to be quite a strong character that wouldn't be too put down after she finds out the party is next week and instead imagine that she is dracula scaring her classmates with bats.
These were the many pages of thumbnails I came up with.
These were changed countless times, whilst trying to keep my favourite parts of the board in the final cut. They had to be changed because I really didn't have much of an idea how storyboards should really be and it took a long time to get used to and get right, but I did eventually come up with a final one I was happy with.
Floor Plans
There was a lot of things that I had to take into account for doing a storyboard that did surprise me like having to completely work out the house the characters would use, the environment and just where each room is how you get to each room that appears in the board. These were the plans that I worked out for the board.
This was the house that I decided on after a lot of research into american style houses, what would work for the characters, I didn't want the house to be huge.
This was the first bedroom design I tried for the main girl character. However after a lot of talk with my lecturers we decided that this wouldn't work and I started to research more for another one.
This was the final Bedroom plan I did for the main female character, I thought this one fit the character much better.
This was the plan drawing for the parents bedroom that I decided to use.
this was the proper layout I worked out for the rooms to be in the house. Which also are true to my final storyboard.
Character Designs
These are all the thumbnail sketches I went through when deciding on a character design for my board. I wanted her to look like she fitted my description of how I see her personality being, imaginative, a bit of a tom boy, fiery, energetic and a prankster.
I decided on the one I really liked I thought was nice and simple and fitted my description well enough. I took this and did a turn around for her that i'm happy with.
My Final Storyboard
This is my final storyboard that I edited several times and changed until now where i'm finally happy with it.
