Extended Practice: Animation 2 Storyboarding

Drinking and driving.

Treatment: Establishing shot of the city skyline and then the camera zooms into the street where there is music, laughter and heavy drinking at a nightclub. Protagonist leaves the club feeling very intoxicated and not fit to drive but says goodbye to his friends and does so anyway. Once in the car, the driver feels a bit uncertain that he should start the car, but does so and very obviously does not have the best vision. Throughout the drive the protagonist cannot see signs properly from drinking too much, and deicides to reach over to see them better. Because of this and his bad reactions, the car steers to the other side of the road, without him realising. There is oncoming traffic and the light from the car in front blinds him. There is a collision and a cut to black. Sound continues.

Like the previous storyboard, I really considered camera angles and colour. I wanted this animation to be set at night for a new change in context as well as a darker colour palette for a more sombre animation. I rarely work with dark colours, so I know this will be a challenge for me but I am willing to take it on and learn from it. I am excited about animating the skyline because I have always wanted to work on environments and I am really happy with this one so far. I think this could be a really interesting animation and sound could really work well, especially inside of the car for a more eery feel!
