Title and Premise

The title of my film that I have decided on is 'Scolded'.

The Premise

A woman stuck in a day to day battle, all until the pressure builds up too much.

Storyboard

Working on the animatic

I have started on the rough animatic. Started with the first scene, taking a rough design of part of the living room, and the female character is in the process of cleaning.

The female character then goes over to the cabinet next to her to clean and she sees the photo of her and her husband on their wedding day. I wanted to have the part where she picks up the photo zoomed in on more so because I want my film to have the same type of style as a graphic novel or motion comic I thought Id create a type of split screen, having the zoomed in part slide in, in comic styled frames using the positioning key frames.

I also done a quick rough scene of the girl blinking and looking sad, which is a scene after she looks at she photo.

As well as that I have done the scene for the animatic of when the male character opens the door and comes into the kitchen, taking the design I have already come up with. With a split screen sliding in over the top which focuses on his face.

Thumbnail storyboard

These are the thumbnails Iv come up with. A rough storyboard that is mainly for me to use and understand so I know whats happening. Im currently working on a presentation storyboard which can be used for other people to understand.

Complete Female Character

This is my complete female character fully coloured, which hopefully I wont have to change because I really like the design and the colours, the technique I used to colour it and try and give it that graphic novel type design.

50's Research

Even though Iv kind of changed the story line of my film it will still be set in the 50's so what I had done and have kept doing is research things from the 50's and collected a lot of imagery such as:

50's Fashion and Hairstyles:

50's Homes:

Caroline also told me to watch 'Mad Men' because that is based in the 50's/60's and it has helped me a lot.

Concept Backgrounds

These are some different designs of some of the scenes/backgrounds that I want in the film. I'm basically just looking at the design and colour at the moment because the colours are very important in this film because the female character is going to be kind of camouflaged in the kitchen, against the cupboards etc.
