Storyboards

Final Storyboard:

These are our final storyboards after receiving feedback on pacing and timing and the order or events.
This final storyboard also takes photographic background into consideration.


Initial Storyboard:

These are our initial storyboards, outlining the story from beginning to end. We decided to use colour in the storyboards as we intend for the use of colour in this animation to play a big role in setting the mood. The dark dreary blues and purples are indicative of the nightmare, while red will be used to indicate danger. This will continue throughout the nightmare sequence until the character wakes up.
The colour scheme when the character first wakes up is based on the morning sky, with a lot of warm colours and a bright blue, as opposed to the dreary blues in the nightmare. The colours become instantly washed out when the character opens the curtains, expecting to see sunshine, but is instead greeted by typical UK weather. Finally the character looks out from his window and spots the two bullies at the bus stop, as the colours fade further into the initial dreary blues and purples, indicating that the nightmare is also his reality.
