Project 2: Original Story

Create and storyboard your own original short film.

Requirements and Recommendations
   1) The short film should be about 1-2 minutes in length.
    2) The final product will likely be about 1 storyboard per one second, give or take.
   3) The intended final film may be animated or live action.
   4) The film must be a complete story, from start to finish, and the storyboards must cover the entire story.

Rubric:
1)  Clarity: Are the storyboards easy to understand and follow?  Are there any problems with continuity? Are there enough storyboards to show everything that needs to be shown?  Is there too much information crammed into individual boards?

2)  Cinematography:  Are the cameras arranged in a way that keeps the action clear and maximizes the emotional impact?  On the flip side, does the camera arrangement cause confusion or implies something unintentionally?

3) Flow:  Do we have a good impression of the flow and timing from these boards?  The presentation will help with this.

Aesthetics/use of color and drawing skill will be factored in only as much as it affects the clarity and cinematography.  Add color or implied lighting if you feel it will help increase the emotional impact/make the scene easier to read.
