Planning: Storyboard "Dear Mother"




A dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship is the subject of our short film. The first shot of the first scene is of the outside of a house, which sets the tone for Roxy and Ms. Jackie's home. The shot then moves on to the interior of the house. Roxy is shouted at by her mother about housework in the next scene, which is more focused on the performers' relationships. There is a close-up of food on the floor, which Roxy must clean up as part of her tasks. This scene shows her and her mother going back and forth. Her mother then goes to the bathroom in the next scene. Roxy receives a phone call from a friend, prompting Roxy to see her pal. The short film moves on to the next scene.This takes place in Emma's house, which is a friend of hers. They're in Emma's room, discussing Roxy's mother's treatment of her. The entire time they are chatting, this sequence is shot in two shots. Roxy receives a call from her mother, and her eyes begin to water. Emma's mother brings Roxy home later. The scene has now returned to Ms. Jackie's house, which was the first setting. Roxy is home alone and talking to Emma on the phone. Ms. Jackie then returns home and overhears Roxy making derogatory remarks about her to Emma. Then they have a verbal altercation, and Roxy flees. There are some dramatic noises in this scenario, such as hearing her run and whining. Emma's mother then takes her up from the park and the two have a brief talk in the car.

* I am not sure what is going on but my Microsoft subscriptions says I am not allowed to export and convert the storyboard to a video therefore I cannot upload it as a video. I also tried paying for a new account and it still wouldn't allow me to. I will have to try to adjust the problem as soon as I get to another laptop to see if I can try again and get different results.

Research: How to Make a Short Film

     This educational video gave me a better understanding of how to make our own movies. While viewing, I discovered that there were some topics I already understood, such as when they were discussing film making. However, the "How to Make a Short Film" video provided me with a wealth of new information that will aid me in the production of our short film. This video includes production and post-production advice from a film specialist. One point that stood out to me was when the expert said not to do it if you can't pull it off.

Adding needless elements to a scene because they appear t...

In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.     It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...
