This past weeks I've been invested in trying to see how best my story could be told visually by characters and scenery. The final name change for my story is 'Deinamuu' which in my tribal language means safe journey. I have an incomplete storyboard and storyline. Below I summarised descriptions of some scenes and the message I want to be told from them.
The story is set in South south Nigeria and it follows our main character on a hopeful journey from the village to the city.
main character- Flora
SCENE 1. The opening scene we see Flora saying goodbye to her family in the village.
The core of the scene is her ending a major aspect of her life, I want us to feel the fear and hope from her parents through their expressions and gestures, I also want to show the intimidation of the agent taking her on this journey and I want culture to be clear from the fabrics they are wearing.
SCENE 2. We see a full view of Flora leaving her village.
The location I've chosen has been blessed with sunshine and bright colours. In this scene I want to showcase the culture while emphasising on her leaving to somewhere far.
I want the concentration to be on Floras complexed emotion between sadness and confusion. This scene would make her personality clear as having a humbling personality with a rebellious side.
...
Love interest or just neighbours ? - Atlas
SCENE LIKE 8?. Atlas grabs her arm (really hard) while she is sweeping the front of her employers house, he sees bruises on her arm . They both lock eyes before she pushes him away and takes her broom inside
Here I want a mini fight scenes. Initially I want to provoke the audience, I want them to be very upset at Atlas for grabbing her but then be comforted that he discovered the bruises. Here should also show the intensity of the situation Flora is in. I also want to showcase up close mannerism, I want the stare to be very loud not with sound but with communication. She's defensive and he is overly concerned, but we also see sadness in her eyes.
I am still working on the other scenes the locations I've chosen are very culture filled so I want that to be clear in my animation, They are both place that where very impactful in my childhood so I have a lot of personal experiences and I also want to emphasis on Domestic violence in the work place but demonstrated as exaggerated and mindful as an animation.
Its also important to note my film is set in the past so I want that to be clear int the colour tone and general set.
