This is my next storyboard. After sitting on the previous one for a while, reflecting on how to best convey my voice and slimming down the story even more, I wanted to revise. This time I started storyboarding based on audio. This was instantly an easier way for me to think about what would happen next, and how to match/contrast images with audio. I also realized how many gaps had been missing in my other storyboard. That one was dealing with more components and I hadn't planned how they would be shown. This new one is more focused, but I think there are twice as many squares. It feels more precise and clear to me.
I've been revisiting my footage and gathering the other films that I need. I've also decided that there are a couple of sections where my actual writing will need to be a part of the film. I didn't feel comfortable leaving just images, and I couldn't find the exact audio I needed, so to make sure things are super-clear, I'll be overlaying text in a couple of spots throughout the film. I think this will serve as signposting for points and pacing changes. I also felt that even as I explored more and more ways of visually telling the story, I wasn't completely comfortable leaving my text out of it. A few lines here and there to tighten the story will help, I think.
