RATIONALE:
Declaring my Film minor a few weeks ago made me very confident in starting this assignment because I have had some experience storyboarding in the past. While I knew what storyboarding was, this assignment was very different from what I usually do. However, I tried to incorporate the pictures into my story as best as I could. During my first iterations of this assignment, all I really wanted to accomplish was where I wanted to put the pictures that were on the COMM site. Once I figured out where I wanted to put these pictures I was able to formulate a small narrative around them quite easily. Some problems I encountered when doing these graphics was how long or how concise I wanted the narrative to be. I know I wanted to keep my graphics very simple and follow Tuftes Graphic Excellence Rule. I reached an "AHA" moment when I realized that what the assignment was asking was not for an elaborate narrative (although nice) but to accurately incorporate the pictures given with easy flow. I believe that I achieved this very nicely with the soccer storyboard as there was only one image to use. The second storyboard was a lot tougher due to the fact that I had to incorporate two of the pictures. According to the Schrivers Model, I incorporated the scene-to-scene transition for most of my slides. However, for the soccer storyboard I used action-to-action to display the soccer ball being kicked and going into the net. I believe that this assignment was a success and will help me in my minor in film.
