This week’s task is to create a mood board and shot storyboard based on the selected story. Here is my work for the week
Regarding camera movement, based on my storyboard, I have incorporated camera movements, including some basic techniques such as zooming, panning, tilting, and tracking, as well as transitional and linking effects to make the short film more cohesive.
In terms of the story, based on last week’s feedback, I have added a beginning and an ending to my narrative. I have endowed the protagonist with a new identity. The story now revolves around a monk, eager to vanquish demons, who is deceived by a mentor—actually a demon in disguise—within the monastery, and thus embarks on a pilgrimage, only to be corrupted by the demon. Ultimately, he is transformed into a demon himself and continues to assimilate new monks arriving at the monastery.
This week, I searched for a lot of interesting references to add various environmental effects to my mood board. My references mainly come from film and video game works. In terms of film, I primarily referenced “Dune” and “The Witch,” among others. For video games, I mainly looked at “Dark Souls” and “Bloodborne,” and similar titles.
