Set, Series, Sequence: Storyboard

For the final part of this brief we were tasked with creating a storyboard consisting of 6-12 frames communicating an idea reflected in the development of out drawings so far based on our chosen word. For this I have chosen to depict the 'invisible car' idea in a storyboard of a short, comedic sketch depicting a man crossing the road in the pouring rain before being hit by a man driving his invisible vehicle. Each of these frames was created from scratch within Photoshop with an emphasis on the mood. I wanted to communicate the weather of the scene through the lighting and heavily desaturated colour palette to give the storyboard a certain mood and ambience, fitting for a darkly comedic comedy sketch. I used reference from the internet for the colour palette and everything, including the clouds and the raindrops was generated within Photoshop without any external sources. 


1)Wide shot of commuter standing at traffic light in the rain with an umbrella...


2)...the commuter takes a step forward onto the road.


3) The commuter is struck at high speed by a driver driving an invisible car and swept to the right of frame.


4) The camera then zooms out once the frame is empty...


5)We zoom out to a long shot of the driver, who has now stepped out of his car to go to the aid of the man.


6)The driver pulls out his phone while a queue of traffic builds up behind him, all driving invisible cars.
