Once Upon a Storyboard

 FINALLY A STORYBOARD!!!!!! I have finally started storyboarding even though that is long overdue but it is okay because the project due date has been extended a week (thank gosh!!). This is the storyboard for the first trailer and it may be a little different then what I have described before.


The first row in the first picture is shots of the mother who is going to be drunk I think instead of high. The little girls come out of the room and look scared. The mother tells them to go to bed and when they stare at her she comes toward them violently. Then cue police sirens, the shots will jump to the girls being pulled away and that is when the shoe shots come in to symbolize one sister going through the foster system. The other sister walks inside the first time to show she got adopted and didn't have to go from house to house. There are shots of Isa under the highway (I will be scouting a place in Markham tomorrow to shoot this) sleeping.


Also there are shots of the other sister happy at the dinner table in the second picture. She then asks her Mom about her biological family and that is when she finds out her sister never got adopted. As the sister is finding out this shocking information, shots of the sister hitchhiking are shown. The trailer is going to finish with her looking for her sister and then ends with a bunch of fast shots then them hugging after reuniting for the first time (clearly I have not drawn this in yet, oops!).

 

That is all I have for today and will finish storyboarding at the beginning of next week. By next Sunday, I plan to be done filming. Cross your fingers the Markham location works out!

Until next time,
