IDEATION

In the second phase of the mentorship project me and Jess met up to go over my storyboard thumbnails.

Since we already figured out which of the three ideas I pitched we should develop, it was easy to get started and finish everything early on. With the start and end of the script determined, it was about thumbnailing and getting the idea across for this week. The most interesting thing I took away from that meeting was the different camera movements and transitions, and being shown some of the loose rules to follow on storyboards.

The most rewarding thing in this phase was getting feedback for what I could add to each scene and seeing how clearly I was able to convey the thumbnails of the scenes to Jess. The challenge was getting the thumbnails done quickly since the priority for storyboards is speed, it was essential that I had the scenes planned out and playing clearly in my head for each thumbnail. 

Since there wasn’t much to do this round, I’ll give myself an 8/10 since I wasn’t able to give myself extra time to finish any designs for a style guide.
