Initial Storyboard

Initial Storyboard - #14

To know which events may occur in the film, I need a storyboard that is organized to help me create a mind map. I plan to also use it as a basic layout for my idea. Before I go ahead with a final copy of a storyboard, I came up with this quickly brainstormed one that has all of the basic parts.

For a better understanding of what is happening, the first part opens with an establishing shot of the two bullies who are attacking the victim. The second box shows the two who had overcome their victim and now are talking down upon him. The third shows the car as it drives off. The fourth shows an over-the-shoulder of the protagonist looking at a garage. The fifth shows the protagonist training with his mentor, and the sixth shows his mentor giving a talk to him.

What would I change or add to this initial storyboard?

Because I brainstormed this very quickly, I didn't leave myself much time to visualize more than 6 parts. For the next one I do, I will spend more time to visualize. I will also add dialogue bubbles, as there will be some parts that include dialogue. As well as adding extra boxes and dialogue, I will try to add more detail to the pictures themselves, to make it easier to tell what is going on. Overall, this was a short-term success that I needed at the moment, but to push my final project even further, improvements are needed.

Settings to Consider - #4

When creating a film, it is always important to identify the setting, or multiple settings. This is because it will help to match the event to when and where it is taking place. Since my film will be about a teenager who learns how to box, there should definitely be a boxing gym used at some point in the film. The location should also be clean and organized as well. It should also include an exterior setting, which may showcase how the characters interact with each other more openly, and at certain times of the day. A great exterior setting to use would be around the neighborhood, because it is an easy place to go out and film at and there is a lot of space for different types of camera shots. There may be some parts of the film that need to be filmed at night, or during the day, and this can be greatly demonstrated using the natural lighting of the sun. The location of the final battle should be noted as it may be included in the opening. This is because I believe that tying

Genre History - #2

Since my project will be a sports drama, I needed to do some research on the genre's history to gain more info. To start off, the Sports genre began with Charlie Chaplin's 'The Champion' (1915), which is a boxing silent film. The drama genre has more confusing beginnings however, since it was said to have originated in Greece as an evolution of religious ritual. Around the same time however, the Sanskrit Indian Prakarana arose, which is a play that consisted of five acts. This may have been regarded to spreading the genre of drama in the east, the same way Greece did in the west. As I've said before, 'The Champion' was the very first sports film. However, this was only a silent film which came around during the silent film era. Meaning that there was no real dialogue or important sounds which could influence the meaning of the film. A much more popular sports film that came later was Rocky (1976) starring Sylvester Stallone. Rocky has also remained a cultu
