Week 8

Assignment: Sketch the story that we created in a storyboard format which is 9-12 boxes. Then we had to take photos that illustrate the story.

Craft: I went to a restaurant to take photos of the engagement between my main characters. I took photos of the other character doing the actions I wanted however he isn't in the right setting so I will need to mash-up some of the photos so that I am able to convey the storyline the way that I had imagined. Taking the pictures I realized that I may have to adjust my story slightly but the overall meaning will be the same. I also took pictures of my parents as the thought bubble. I tried to take it against a blank canvas so that they would be easy to cut out.

Composition: I am going to change my story so that the focus is brought to the ring in the beginnnig scenes and then the ring-pop at the end. I also want to focus on the faces so that the excitement and shear joy can be seen even without an extraordinary ring. I want the woman to show an overwhelming amount of love. I need the man's love to grow when he is with the love of his life. At first he cared about not getting the most wonderful ring but when he see's her he realizes none of it matters. I need to somehow show that he thought of the first time they met when he bought the ring-pop.

Concept: The story is all about love. Many people think that extravagant things make people happy which may be true. However, the real joy in life is being with the people that you love. It's the small things that count in life. Regarding gifts, it really is the thought that counts.
