NEXT-GEN Nescot week 4 - bluezoo storyboard

During week 4 we were tasked with creating a storyboard for a small 30 second advert to show off an app for a mobile phone. In the advert people attempt to answer their phones while wearing gloves, each failing before the final person uses the app to respond to a text message.

The advert brief also came with a script to show the interactions between the narrator and each of the characters actions. The script can be seen below.


For my storyboard I decided to open with a master-shot of four characters (one of which isn't actually needed) standing underneath a train station canopy. Then the scene shows the first character, who receives a phone call and pulls their phone out of their pocket and attempts to answer the phone; this doesn't work and leads to the man panicing and trying to answer the phone, ultimately with them not being able to answer it.

The second scene starts with the second character leaning against the wall with their phone in their hands. The second character also receives a call and attempts to answer it. When this fails they attempt to use their nose and the phone slips out of their hands and they stumble trying to grab it. The scene then returns to the master shot to show a reaction of each of the characters before showing the second character narrowly grabbing their phone before they could fall onto the tracks. The second scene ends with a master shot of the different characters helping the second character up as the train pulls into the station.

The final scene starts by showing the last character walking up to the train, receiving a message and replying with the phrase "It's freezing, but my hands are nice and warm! :D" before then getting onto the train and panning the camera upwards to show the final shot of the title card for the app.


I believe that I did well on this task because I am happy with the series of events and designs of the characters. However, if I could improve upon my project I would add additional detail to the background and slightly more detail to the designs of the characters.
