Following are the storyboard we have so far. After the initial proposal, our idea has been changed a lot. Anyway, the basic concept to show the contradiction between people’s behavior (expression/ words) and their true thoughts in their mind. In this story, we try to form up a closed circle in a community, which would be made up of three main characters. Though some of the scenes are independent of each other, the viewers could still figure out a connection between them.
The general storyline:
scene1 – a girl finished her tiresome class and walking with her mind full of food, however, she just meets her annoying friend
scene2 – conversation: they sit and have lunch together, the friend starts talking about the grade
scene3 – conversation: they sit and have lunch together, the girl tries to talk about the music
scene4 – a boy is playing ping-pong while a girl passes by, he imagined a lot, however, he just stands there with a silly smile that makes the girl feels weird. The girl here is the one in the beginning scene, and she is on her way to the cafeteria.
For the opening, I’m thinking about three choices: 1. a fasten rewinding of all scenes to the beginning scene; 2. a simple title shows slowly to fit the character’s tired mood; 3. an opening intro for each character.
For the transition, we would like to imitate the traditional sitcom, an abrupt pulse and a blank space for the viewers to feel, where we would also try some facial expression zooming in the shot.
