Screen Break Down and Story Boards

This week we have wrote a scene breakdown and started story boarding the film. Storyboards are a good way for us to see the story on paper and to communicate visually. It also helps us knuckle down on a visual style. We have decided to use silhouettes as a simple way to tell the story that also relates to the look of the early zoetropes. It will also create a uniform style that we can all animate in and give the film a unique look. We will use some colour in some circumstances such as Mary's hair, the red pirate ship flag, the yellow money the pirates loot and Mary's red broken heart. The colour code will be a useful visual tool to high light to the audience key parts of the story.
