2. Music Video evaluation
These are my final storyboards for my music video, I have decided to use a six cell storyboard for many different reasons. One of these being that I believe that it is the right amount of
space to draw and include all the text needed within this specific sector. The positives that come from this storyboard is that you get to include more drawings and you get to set the
scene. Another positive is that the audience get to see everything set within the majority of that scene. A negative is that there sometimes may not be enough room to draw and write
and sometimes you may need more room which means you need to use a different storyboard template. The way the characters are drawn and the way the angles are shown, gives the
audience an idea of imagery that is created within the 12 cells over two pages. In decided to use zoom boxes when appropriate to show the audience that the scenes with the zoom show
importance and effectiveness of the close up of the scenes. The different camera angles and character movements are shown with importance and are successful. The purpose of these
specific storyboards is too show the audience how effective and appropriate these storyboards are. In my opinion I believe that I have fulfilled the purpose.
3. Video Game Final Storyboards
This is my final templates for the video game storyboard. For this one I also decided to use a six cell storyboard. This is because I feel as though I needed room to both write a
little text as well as draw what was needed to draw. I also think that this specific storyboard template is good at showing the viewer what is happening within the games
scene/level. A positive of this storyboard is that it gives the artist room more room to draw than to write which is good. A negative for this is that when drawing a video game
storyboard, you need as much room as possible to draw. When with these storyboards you are limited to a certain amount of space. Overall I believe that these storyboard
templates are good at showing the audience. Within Video Game storyboards you have to ensure that you use imagery especially as well as effectiveness to your maximum
potential. I believe that I have shown imagery and effectiveness, as well as importance because of the way I have used edits and transitions as well as the use of camera angles
and movements. The purpose of this storyboard was to show the audience about my video game for my movie and I believe I have achieved that purpose.

11. Movie storyboards Overall evaluation
While developing these twenty different storyboards I ran into many different problems. One of these problems being time management. I took a little
more time than I should have done to draw and annotate these storyboard's. Another problem would be deciding what camera angles to use within my
movie. Another problem I had was creating different ideas for the production in making these storyboards.
However I did come across many different positives while drawing these storyboards. A few of these positives would be successful use of imagery as
well as storyboard template designs.
I decided to use a one cell storyboard as in my opinion it was useful and successful at using imagery. It is successful at using imagery as it engages and
attracts the audience. This is because a one cell storyboard templates have a lot of room to draw your drawing as efficient and as effective as you
possibly want. Which grasps the audiences attention. The purpose of this storyboard was to grasp the audiences attention and make them view the
storyboards wanting to watch the movie. I believe that my storyboards are successful at getting that idea across.
I decided to use tracking shots within my movie as they are effective and interesting for the audience watching. In the shot where Spencer makes an
appearance with the tracking shot is effective. This is because with the tracking shot being in place makes the audience want to know who this specific
shady and mysterious character is. Slow footsteps of the tracking shot also engages the target audience more as it makes them ask question about this
character, like “Who is he?” and “Why is he here?” etc.
I also decided I wanted to use a variety of shots. With these shots ranging between medium- long shot to close-up. All the shots I decide to use is long
shots, medium-long shots, medium shots, medium close-ups and close ups. I have used these shots for many different reasons. One of these reasons
being using a variety of shots shows the audience that different tension and suspense is used in different ways, as well as being used successfully.
By using different camera angles to create imagery etc. I have used them to create emotion for the audience. For example in the scene/shot where
Spencer enters the scene and sits down to join Benjamin at the bar. This Medium Long Shot was used at this specific angle to show the awkwardness
and tension between the characters. With the angle being shot this way, shows the audience that suspense is build very successfully. Also the
audience are presented with emotion as Pete (The Barman) is shocked and worried so decided tov step back from the bar as he knows these characters
have met before and don’t exactly get along. With this being said the scene also portrays awkwardness between characters as well as a little anger.
Which this will engage the audience and make them want to watch more of the movie.
So overall I believe that my final movie have been a success. I have had problems on the way. But with that being said I pushed my way through these
problems and succeeded in doing so. To improve further I could take time management into consideration and make sure that I am on time with
everything needed to be complete, in a effective and productive manor.
