Story Board Project (part 2)
Storyboard Text
- Frame 3Frame 3 opens with a side-on close shot of our stick figure, slightly more refreshed, going for a walk near his local lake. These walks are refreshing to the stick figure, as he looks relatively calm, making an effort to listen for sounds like birds or leaves, smell for the scent of the outside, and sense for the soft wind. Here, the stick figure’s relationship with nature is made apparent, seeing himself as a part of what is around him.
- Frame 4 Frame 4 opens with an over-the-shoulder shot of our stick figure, still on his walk to nowhere in particular. He is now near the quieter and richer part of town, walking along a cul-de-sac with his mind still slightly jumbled. Here, he is completely stopped, suggesting that he is perplexed at something near him, preventing him from continuing his routine walk. The thing in question is represented by musical notes coming from one of the many huge houses on the block. It is not pictured, but judging by the context, it is someone playing a grand piano. Here, the stick figure is intrigued, standing (might I add, in the middle of the quiet road) solely to listen to someone play the piano with technical and musical mastery. His expression is not shown, but the stick figure is stupefied by the person’s amazing performance.
- Frame 5Frame 5 then opens with a side-on full shot. Within this shot is a stick figure, walking down the road in a more urban and vibrant part of town, just past a studio. From here he sees a band jamming out a song through the studio’s windows. He hears them as well, playing a cover of “Thank you for the Venom” By My Chemical Romance. To this, the stick figure stops the same way he did when he heard the piano, again baffled by the hypnotizing performance of the band. The band is feeling and giving their all to every note, with the vocalist screaming at the top of lungs, the guitarists and bassist strumming their guitars in a way that brings out the drums, hitting hard with explosive noise. Note how the musical notes are the only thing given any real color throughout the storyboard, implying the stick figure’s view of music. A way to decorate time in an otherwise colorless and unsaturated world.
