Storyboarding!!

Based on the title, you can kinda figure out what my partner and I are doing. But, we completed our storyboard today and we're really excited to start the next step in our process! As far as storyboarding went, we were a little stuck at the beginning. I think starting the storyboard was the hardest part because there are so many different ways we could start the opening, so we didn't know which direction we wanted to go in. But, we decided to start off with a usual coming-of-age vibe by portraying the main character and their sibling. We will use various medium and long shots to showcase their opposing personalities, and set up "future" conflicts. We also decided to not include as much "talking" in the opening, because we want to introduce the characters first and foremost. So, we will have one or two "talking scenes"; one with the sibling and one with the parent. For these, we will add captions at the bottom when the MC is signing ASL. Here is our finished storyboard (the pictures are very blurry I apologize):

We plan to start the opening with a black screen introducing our production company, which we did not put on the storyboard. This is when the music will start, and the music will continue until the sibling turns it off. We also plan to put the credits in the corners of the screen up until the sibling and MC interact (page 2). We want the credits to fade in, and think they'll fit in well to the opening while the characters are getting ready. For the title, we plan to put it during the extreme wide shot of the MC getting into the car; it will be in big letters and synch with the music.
