Description
My final storyboard for my pre-production class. At first I wasn't really sure about the story but after some feedback and changes I'm happier with it. The class itself was amazing in that it got me to not only tell but show stories, something I've struggled with. But now I definitely have a newfound appreciation for good cinematography and more confidence in my work.The story originally revolved around the theme of false expectations (bullies pressuring a fatter character to dive, expecting he/she would fail when they are actually a fabulous diver) but evolved more into how people grapple with their fears. I owe the ending to my prof: Everyone saw the high dive as a Β towering beast, but it wasn't until the MC conquered her fear that she saw it as it really was by the end.

This is awesome! I like how she just kind of walks off the board, cuz that's how I always dove as a kid, I didn't know how to dive the real way (I still dont' actually) And the ending shot is nice too

Haha, I would always just fear doing a belly flop when I went off the diving board. Anything but that XD
Thank you, I'm glad you like the storyboard x)

I like the changes you made, the camera angles really help the reveal at the end
and when she hits the water, the expressions of those two kids in the background are the best!

really nice scene ^^
i also had a situation like this xD when i was about thirteen, we visited an open-air bath that had a 5 meter tower. some older teens (about 17) let me go up before them, and i jumped there for the first time
so i really can understand how the kid must feel like here

Thank you!
Wowww 5 meters sounds really tall >>Β
I have a crazy fear of heights so I still don't think I could do it XD; the normal-sized diving board is fine for me.Β

oh yes, the thing with the hights. and then also that it looks even higher because you can see straight through the water
