This week I focused on developing the storyboard for our project. Building on the concept established in previous weeks, I translated the narrative structure into a sequence of visual scenes and explored how the story could be communicated through composition, camera movement, and symbolic imagery.
The storyboard follows the progression from order to tension and chaos. It begins with a large number of identical mouths repeating the same actions, before gradually isolating a single mouth through a dolly zoom shot. As the sequence develops, the mouth struggles to speak and becomes subjected to different forms of suppression, including being covered, taped, stitched, torn apart, and ultimately destroyed. These scenes were designed to reinforce the project’s themes of silence, control, and collective pressure.
During the process, I experimented with framing, pacing, and transitions between shots to create a stronger emotional impact. Completing the storyboard helped me visualise the overall flow of the animation and provided a clear foundation for the next stage of production.
