Assignment: Working as a group, assemble and complete a Lecia or story reel for your 3rd year group project. Your group will draft rough story ideas, rough a storyboard, write from a script from those boards, “pitch” the story (describe and act out,) refine the story board into a production board and produce a Lecia or story reel. This assignment is intended to take the student through the boarding process to refine the group idea into a working Lecia or story reel.

At every stage, the group is expected to give and receive “notes.”-suggestions for the better communication of the story. The application of these notes is an integral part of the storyboard process.

ASSIGNTMENT #3: The Storyboard TestREVISION November 17, 2011

INDIVIDUAL MARK

THIS ASSIGNMENT RUNS CONCURRANTLY (AT THE SAME TIME) AS THE GROUP PROJECT.

YOU ARE REPONSIBLE TO YOUR GROUP FOR YOUR WORK THERE TOO.

Assignment: This assignment will simulate a storyboard test from a production company. You will be required to produce: a thumbnail/ rough board, a clean timed board, and a Lecia or story reel for the sample provided.

You are required to storyboard the script in as long (as many pages) as you think it will take. In an actual situation, you should watch a number of the episodes of the program to recognize who the audience is, similar shows, the attitudes of the characters, etc. As this is a sample case, this is NOT required.

This assignment is to show your thinking process on how to interpret and illustrate the script as presented. DO NOT focus on making elaborately rendered drawings, but demonstrate how you communicate the action in the script, the acting in the dialogue and that the characters and BGs are in the style of the show. Be as close to model as possible. Size relations are particularly important. Rough/Loose but clear as to what’s going on.

These tests typically take a day or two to complete so you should judge you time accordingly.

Elements Supplied:Board template, character models, location design, script, and a limited bible (character and style descriptions.)

Deliverables:A. Thumbnails: Due in Lab Week 9 Value: 10%

To be reviewed / marked in the lab.

B. Final clean timed Board in Lab Week 13 Value: 20%The board will be clean and timed with appropriate details: numbered pages and scenes, shot description, dialogue, proper screen direction, sound notes and special effects indications. Slugging notes (rough timing of the scenes) are optional.

One hard copy and one electronic copy (PDF) submitted to HAND_IN folder.To be reviewed the lab.

Optional Lecia in Lab Week 13One electronic copy (.mov) submitted to HAND_IN folder prior to lab.To be reviewed the lab.
