Continue finishing up storyboard about Gangsters with video game. At least 27 frames.
Final Project-(35% of grade)
Create 60 second animation in AfterEffects with at least 27 frames with movement. I am giving the class the ability to choose the story and options listed below. We will work on this the rest of the semester.
Storyboards must include all of the following:
● Close-Up (CU): full face shot of actor(s) or up close shot of objects.
● Extreme Close-Up (EXT CU): so close you see only actor’s eyes.
● Establishing Shot (EST): shows the placement of the actor(s) for the audience.
● Long Shot (LS): shows the actor(s) or objects in the distance (background).
● Medium Shot (MS): shows the actor(s) or objects in the MGD.
Students can use drawings, photography and Garry's Mod to create frames.
1. Sci-Fi story-
2. Western story-
Cowboy in the western desert with horse(Filled with cactus). Takes a drink from his cantina and then wipes his face. Comes up to a hill and sees a town far away. (Next scene)Cowboy is in the middle of the road with his horse in the town. People are looking at him through the windows. Some of them look scared and close the window. He tips his hat as he sees locals. He sees a saloon and gets off his horse and ties him up. He walks into the saloon and everyone stops even the piano. He looks around and then everyone goes back to their business. He orders a drink at the bar and the bartender shows him the only drink they sell. He pours the cowboy a glass and he takes drink.He then sees one of the customers disrespecting another person in the saloon, and by the way a lot smaller. The cowboy sets his glass down and makes a noise and gets up. Walks over to the customer and says, "Is there a problem?" The customer says, "Mind your own business". The cowboy says, If you don't stop you are going to be in a world of trouble." The customer reaches for his gun and the cowboy starts shooting.
3. Horror story-
In the summer of 2013, I found myself driving home alone on highway 902 from a party. It was almost midnight, and needless to say it was pitch black. As was usual at night, I was on edge. I had the radio off, and could hear nothing but the muffle roar of tires on pavement and the dull hum of the engine. I stole a glance into the middle rear view mirror, and saw nothing but darkness through the back window.
I know that I looked backward and saw nothing. I’m sure of it. Just the seemingly endless blackness of the night. I remember it so clearly because not 10 seconds later a car passed me to the left. Headlights on. I had one of those sudden adrenaline rushes like when you think you see a person outside your bedroom window when it’s just a tree, or when you start awake at night with the feeling of falling. Ten seconds earlier, nothing had been behind me. Suddenly, a car. I drove the rest of the way home shivering and knowing something was off.
The next morning, I found two sets of scratches near the back of my van. One was on the left rear, one was on the right. The car was pretty old. They could have been there for months, but that was the first time that I distinctly remembered seeing them.
In hindsight, there are two possibilities for what happened that night. Possibility one. By some glitch in reality, or something paranormal, this other car had somehow appeared behind me within 10 seconds of me checking my mirror. Like some weird ghost crap or something. However, the second option is what makes my blood run cold whenever I consider it.
It didn’t even occur to me until months after the fact, but it makes me dread driving alone at night even more. Possibility two. The car was normal. It had approached me from the rear and passed me to my left. However, something large, and wide, and as black as the night had been clinging to the rear of my car, obscuring my view through the window and leaving deep scratches on the sides.
And I had inadvertently driven it home with me.
