Opening scene Draft 1.5

-

 I realized that my first storyboard was too complicated and had too much information. I almost all act one in the opening scene, which was not what I was going for. I took inspiration from a film I watched with my family. In the film's opening scene they used suspenseful music, fire embers,  slow movements, still images, and bold white lettering for the credits. The opening scene introduced the character, set the mood and setting without revealing big plot points. I thought their film opener was excellent and decided to take inspiration when revamping my opening scenes storyboard with color and fewer slides.

Codes and Conventions

I found some codes and conventions in the video clip that I would like to dive into, including symbolic codes, technical codes,  and story conventions. In the entire clip, the audience has a sense of happiness and carefreeness from the main character (the character riding the bike with curly hair.) It is almost as if this character keeps winning, as seen in a later scene where the character gets a good deal on a drink. Another character, Amir, seen in the corner shop scene, has a slight numb demeanor, almost as if they hold information from the main character; information could ruin the main character's carefree nature.  Continuing the clip travels through many shots and angles using technical codes. This code's use in the clip aids the audience in understanding the environment and setting the story takes place. From the gathered clips, the audience can infer that the story starts in a neighborhood that houses many minority groups from all the people passing by the presents of

My Monster Anxiety Treatment

-
Act 1 Veronica is a young teenage girl in middle school when she first heard about the virus. The virus seemed so unthreatening during the early years. Veronica and her friends thought they would just start spring break a week early. Oh, how wrong they were. Weeks turns to months and months into years till Veronica was starting her freshman year of highschool. Highschool is an odd experience. Hormones are high, feeling get hurt, drama ensues, grades rise, and grades drop. However, Veronicas freshman year isn’t the usual deal people sign. Physical contact with teachers, students, and the whole world really is at a zero. No mingling, no new relationships, no contact, nada. Which entails no sports, field trips, or anything that makes highschool worthwhile. Instead, Veronicas entire highschool experience is on a tiny sliver device called a laptop. Fun. Actually, not fun cause Veronicas Anxiety is munching up her social butterfly like a five-year-old and a box of chocolates. The press
