“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”
- JRR Tolkien

Drafting and Planning: Storyboards

I attempted to make a storyboard to show how some of the scenes would be shot for my trailer. But, though I used to be good at drawing, I don't take pleasure in drawing anything these days unfortunately, so found this a rather laborious task.

But here's what I did draw of my storyboard:




I can't draw out my ideas properly from my head, I much prefer to write them down, and use existing shots from films/trailers/TV I already know of to take inspiration from.
I guess a shot list is what fits me best, and I like to just have my camera and 'wing it' on the day of filming sometimes; yes there'd be a plan, but one thing I've learnt is that you get some of our best ideas from experimentation and just going for it!

EXTRA IDEA:
Perhaps, at the start of the 7 Deadly Sin forest scene, the make up is first all tidy and perfect, then the make-up, hair and costumes gets all ruined and tattered the more and more mad they get!
