From Script to Screen - Like for like Story Board #2

Alien - Like for like story board

As my first story board was showing a conversation, it was more like an illustration of the scene, that you would find in a book, rather than a story board. In some cases, this new one is similar as it is still very detailed and accurate. However, for my own reasons I wanted to spend a lot of time on something, and then be proud of it, instead of doing something quickly and not really liking it. I am very happy with this, as it has taken me a very long time to complete. I tried to add more arrows and lines of movement, that demonstrate the scene and I think I've done that reasonably well. The scene is incredibly famous and uses a lot of close up shots of characters' faces. Interestingly, there is only ever one camera position/type of shot that is used when showing Kane on the table and when he is main center of attention, where as there are different camera angles when showing the crew try to help him. So, overall, I am very happy with this. I have tried to use as a source of motivation for this project.

From Script to Screen - Like for like Story Board #1

Shaun of the Dead - "Like for Like" Story Board

Fig. 1 Shaun of the Dead (2004) Movie Poster

This is my Like for like story board. I based it on a scene in Edgar Wright's "Shaun of the Dead" where Ed (played by Nick Frost) is talking to Shaun (played by Simon Pegg) how his break up isn't the end of the world.

Overall, I'm happy with this because I like each individual image. I spent a longer time on this than most things I do, so it makes it clear how much my feelings about my work can change if I spend more time on things. I think I could have shown light in the images, but I wasn't sure how to do that, unless I change the style.
