Extended Practice: Animation 3 Storyboarding

Not using lights effectively.

Treatment: Father leaves his house and waves goodbye to his family. It is night time and very dimly lit. He gets into his car and does not put his seatbelt on, waves to his wife and children and drives off. He forgets to put his lights on. He drives around fine and does not make any mistakes. His concentration is perfect and he follows all of the road rules he is supposed to. He decided to take a left at the next junction but does not see the pedestrians about to cross the road as he has no lights on. They also do not see him. There is a collision and a cut to black. Sound continues for a few seconds longer.

This animation is set at night time too which allows me to play around even more with darker colours and shadows. Again I tried to use more interesting camera angles, but I have to be careful since there is no illumination from the cars lights as the driver forgets to turn them on, so I have to consider how to highlight certain aspects of the animation without light. I am excited for this animation because I have experienced first hand this type of hazard and how dangerous it can be, so I really want to do it justice.
