Poem 1 ideas & Storyboard

As a group, we decided to look into the poem and Analise it in great detail. We took out key details from the poem we found interesting. The most interesting themes we got from the poem is that of a forbidden love story and the city being a negative influence.

We then decided to separately come up with some ideas for scenes, so we could get a more clear idea of what we wanted to do.

 

I liked the idea of the city being an evil influence and tried to think of ideas for that. I drew out scenes of a skyline with a timelapse, static going over the screen and a faceless businessman. The static would symbolize how unreal the city can be to real life and the faceless businessman being a personification of greedy corporations. Ultimately we didn't go with many of these ideas, though we did utilize the timelapse with the city skyline.

We decided to focus a lot more on the forbidden love aspect. Both Alex and Sophie produced a test storyboard for the poem. We looked over both and decided that we were playing on the religious side of things too much.  Overall we went with an edited version of Alex's storyboard for the final storyboard.
