Final Project: Storyboarding Process 1

    I haven't spent many blog postings discussing my storyboarding process, so I'm going to dedicate this weeks' blog postings to a storyboarding overview for the project thus far. It went in a few phases, and each phase helped me realize what worked and what didn't, as well as giving me ideas for the future for the project. 
    The first of these phases was the brainstorming phase. The second this project was assigned, I knew I wanted to do a crime thriller, but I wasn't sure how I would go about doing it. Thus began phase one. I do this thing when I'm brainstorming for written pieces and visual pieces where I listen to a music compilation that I think matches the mood I'm going for, and I close my eyes, trying to imagine scenes playing out in my head. This gave me a few scenes that really clicked with me in my head, which allowed me to move forward with the pieces that were feasible. 
    The second phase was figuring out which of these scenes I wanted to use, and how they could potentially tie together. At this point of the project, I eliminated anything that didn't make sense and then I added in scenes for the parts that I was missing, leaving a few scenes from my 'vision' while still having a project that felt polished and good. 
    The third step was a physical storyboard, with drawings and images depicting what would happen in the scene. I've never been great at drawing, so this is where I used the LEGO fill-ins to help supplement the physical drawings that I had done. Once that part of the process was done I double-checked the relationship that the piece had with research and made further changes at that point.
