Modifying Storyboard

Our original film opening started off with Elena's lower class neighborhood and then Elena, our main character running. We decided to do this since it would show her socio-economic state and allow the audience to know she is a runner.

After viewing other sample openings, we decided to start our rolling credits with still frames of things that matter and characterize Elena. For example, the use of still images such as the college she wants to attend, medals, and race souvenirs. The purpose of this would be to demonstrate her interests and goals. We will also be using still shots such as financial aid papers, an empty refrigerator, and other still frames that signify she is financially unstable. We decided to create this sequence of stills shots since it looks more professional and wraps the persona that we are creating, Elena. As a group, we believed this was a better instead of jumping into the running scene so the audience can be more familiar with Elena's persona.

Modifications like these are going to be made throughout the process in order to make the film opening introduce Elena in the most efficient way possible. Since we have such a limited amount of time for the film opening, every decision made is very important so we are aware as a group that we will be making several changes.
