The story I decided to go with for this task was 'My Boy'
'My Boy' is a story about how the relationship between a girl and her surprise cockerel chick develops over time.
Thursday: I began by taking the draft of the written story and breaking it down using the grid system.
Friday: From this I began to write shot by shot. This part was fairly easy for me as I was very excited about this idea and could see the whole short film clearly in my head.
I did struggle with formatting a script as I couldn't find a concise method for it, I did however find a template and used that. I think the formatting turned out okay, there may be a few mistakes but for a first go I am happy.
Saturday: I thumbnailed down the side of the script. This was meant to be quick and loose but I ended up with quite detailed images. I feel they read well but there were some I wanted to change around but because I made them so close together it was hard to fit in a different sketch.
I learnt from this process that:
-I need to practice and look more in to formatting a script.
-I make my initial thumbnails to detailed- I need to work on as I tend to go straight in with a finished product so to speak when I should be making them simple and quick so its easier to change or throw away and don't get to attached to them.
