In your sketchbook, I want you to create a short storyboard. As I explained in class, for your final animation project, you'll crate and show a storyboard for feedback in class, so I want to hit you with a few assignments beforehand that will encourage you to think in storyboarding terms.
For this storyboard, you can build on your prior sketchbook assignment (click here for a refresher), taking your "scary" image, and breaking it down in terms of a sequence -- as if you were making a storyboard for a series of shots in an animation or film. You should break down the sequence into a minimum of five shots. Think of how the variety of types of shots (establishing shots, closeups, and so on) and of camera movements (zooms, pans, etc.) will help you to tell the story of the sequence in the most effective way.
If you're not all that interested in expanding upon the "scary" image, you're free to build a storyboard out of some other event that happened to you -- something memorable, it could be something good or bad. Just imagine someone has decided to make a biographical movie about you, and you have to plan out all the camera angles and movements for this particular scene.
We'll take a look at your storyboards at the beginning of Monday's class.
