Storyboarding Workshop

In this task we had to choose one of the images we had brought and make a 9 panel storyboard from it, the image had to be the 5th panel so it was in the middle. 

As the image was in the middle I thought it was pretty hard to think how to get to that image and then away from it again as I had to think of story each way. 

I ended up massively overcomplicating the whole thing by trying to create stories rather than focusing on getting to this image and to a blank end. It could have been as simple as the character walks in, sits down, writes and walks off again. 

This task has given me some perspective about the final animation as a whole, especially that keeping things simple isn't lazy - it's necessary. Overcomplicating things will just lead to total disaster, and adding information/noise that is completely unneeded. 

Also 15 seconds isn't actually that long, so attempting really complex 'storylines' is not in my best interests, as I'd probably waste time trying to come up with a big idea rather than smaller, simpler ideas that can be combined into a final resolution.
