Storyboard

Working on my storyboard, I was guided by Indy Mogul's video in Youtube, which gave me some tips on how to draw my storyboard without actually having any artistic skills. I found this video to really enhance the quality of my storyboard, making it more clear as to what shots are where, as well as the movement of the camera. 

So, **drum roll please**, here is my storyboard: 

TA-DA!

I know...I know, it's not the most beautiful thing in the world, but hey, it gets the point across! At the end of the day, this storyboard will serve me as a guide during filming, so that the process can be quick and easy, and I don't forget any important shot. There will probably be more shots added to the actual film since I always come up with new scenes once I begin playing with my actress, the set, and the props. Overall, I'm really happy with how it came out, and now I'm even more excited about filming. 

On a sadder note though, I still haven't gotten the copyright permission to use 'Crystallize' as my background music, so now I'm forced to look for a backup copyright-free song that I like in case they don't respond (which is actually way harder than it seems). I'm extremely upset about this since the music plays such an important part in my opening, creating that build up of emotion that I want to portray. I've contacted the artist through various means, so I've completely exhausted all my resources, now I just have to wait. :( I really hope I get the rights before filming starts, because I don't want to film without having the music to pace me.
