Week 3: Finalising Our Narrative


After returning from Barca we decided to finalise our narrative and bring together any new ideas we might have. I drew up a new map sketch that I felt would work well for a 1 minute piece and we also have had some new ideas incorporated into the narrative.

We have basically divided the narrative into 5 sections and by Week 4 everyone will have storyboarded their section and we will re-evaluate our idea, although we think it will fit together nicely as we only need to storyboard 12 seconds each. These are the sections that have been assigned:

Section 1: Matt, Cat walking out of hole in side of house after dragging ball of string down, then exploring street
Section 2: Jeff, Cat exploring down street and examining alley and turning into it
Section 3: Harvey, Cat going through alley taking in narrowness and darkness and then emmerging out the other side
Section 4: Kanika, Cat going down a new wider street going towards an archway which is entrance to a courtyard
Section 5: Sam, Cat going into courtyard with shot widening to show the whole city and all the destruction.

The big change we have also made has been not to having the ground cracking like an earthquake is happening, but have it more like an earthquake has occurred and the cat is investigating it. Also in the final shot the city will pan out to show the city practically ripped away on a kind of cliff edge. This will be better explained in Sam's storyboards later on.
