storyboards


Video Game Storyboard

This is my final video game storyboard covering my film. In my storyboard it shows a series of quests that the player can partake in, for example in the second cell of the first example, the player can take 1 of 2 options, to take up the investigators offer and take down the robbers or to reject the offer and do it in a later date. The video game would also include dialogue, which would help those who may have hearing difficulties, or those who couldn't understand what was being said on screen. The final challenge gives the player the option to choose their difficulty, which is similar to most games, when the player gets to choose how hard or how easy they want the game to be. My video game will include more close ups and medium close ups as opposed to the film, due to the amount of cut scenes including conversation. For the ending scene, the conflict, it would include tracking shots, due to the main characters, the investigators, searching for the robbers and tracking them down. 





Film Storyboard



The storyboards above are the film storyboards. The first storyboard is the introduction to the film, the characters and the setting of the scene. The first 3 cells on the storyboard introduces all 5 characters, these being the investigators and the robbers and also the setting of where the most important scene plays out. In the final 3 cells, it shows the planning out and the strategy of the investigators and how they're going to take down their enemy. Throughout my storyboards, it shows what camera angles will be used throughout my short movie. In the 2nd storyboard, this is the planning process of the film where those investigating attempt to find a way to edge out the robbers and find out more about them. In these cells the majority is negotiation between the investigators, who ultimately are aiming to agree on a way to find about their rival. In this part of the storyboard, there are minimal shot types, and don't tend to differentiate, due to the fact that the investigators will be in discussion, therefore shot types won't need to vary, as opposed to when action happens a variation of shots would be required. In the 3rd storyboard, it comes to the end of the short film and the conclusion where both parties meet, the conflict. In this storyboard, there is a variety of shots, varying from extreme close ups, to extreme long shots. The reasoning for this is because these scenes include a lot of action, and the action can be caught from afar as well as up close.  



Music Video




For my music video storyboards I followed the basis of my film but adapted it to be a more fast flowing video, depending on genre. My film and music video are alike as they both carry out the same shots and have the same beginning and ending, however the music video would be carried out in a faster pace, this being investigators being more forceful. The editing wouldn't necessarily be continuity in a music video, as some shots tend to vary in placement.

Experience

I have had vast amounts of experience commentating and presenting college football games. During these games, i would do a live, running commentary of chances, goals and anything of interest to the public in a football match. I did this over a 5 week period, and there are screenshots on the show reel.

I also have experience with writing post match reports. My post match reports were from games outside of the college commentary, but instead with games I watched outside of college times. An example of this is my post match report of the Borussia Dortmund game I went to, there are screenshots on the show reel.



I was a member of a team of volunteers (Project Gambia) who visited The Gambia in December 2016. During my visit I supported a number of under-privileged men, women and children. My aim was to improve the quality of life of these families and also the wider community through providing them with clothes, shoes and gardening utensils. I also provided First Aid workshops, raised funds to provide wells for clean drinking water and delivered arts and craft workshops in local schools and nurseries. I also provided resources to ensure that these activities could be continued after our departure. I independently created a plan for a school sports day, this included producing a timetable, planning fun activities and delivering these which encouraged the local community to participate.


In recognition of my efforts with Project Gambia I gained a Platinum Youth Achievement Award.


I am currently working towards an FA Level 1 Football Coaching Certificate; this will enable me to instruct and guide young individuals/teams to improve their skills and knowledge within the sport.

I did two match reports for games I attended, the first of which being Sunderland v Blackpool, displayed below.


The second game being Borussia Dortmund v TSG Hoffenheim, a game I attended in Germany back in February.







The next piece to add is my in game commentary. I did this whilst watching college football teams, and would comment on anything specific that happened. For example, a goal or a missed opportunity.
