NOTES:
*The story I aimed to show is James being bored in his lesson, which causes him to fall asleep. The following shot shows him laying on a grass in a 'magical land'. He is dreaming of playing basketball, being really happy. The second last shot shows the ball bouncing towards the camera, which is like the viewer receiving a wake up call; they can imagine the way James felt .He is then woken up and realises it was all a dream, hence the sad/upset expression, as he has to go back to reality.
I think the shots were mostly successful, as the story overall flows and it is easy to tell what is happening. The second shot is blurry, which emphasises the fact that James is zoning out and that the following shots will be his dream.
The shots could have been improved, if we controlled the lighting more. For example, the second shot, the ISO could have been changed too a lower number to make the image darker, because James is 'falling asleep'. We could also improve by in the first image, positioning everyone in the frame, in a way which would allow everyone to be fully visible, and not blocking each other.
I decided to present the images like this instead of PowerPoint or Word because it was difficult to present the images on a horizontal or diagonal storyboard as the shots are a mixture of portrait and landscape shots.
