Pre-production Week 2

This is week 2 of pre-production. In this week, the team decided on coming up with our own storyboard and discuss it by the end of the week. I was confused with why the team chose skip the scripting/writing phase and jumped onto the storyboarding phase. This would cause major problems like different plot points, odd timeline and pacing issues. As I thought, it happened. Although our short film will have minimal dialogue, it doesn't mean that we don't need a proper script. In the end, the storyboard was not resolved. The team planned to start from scratch but not from the script but finding shooting location. I was confused why would they made that decision. I went along with the plan.

The image above is a storyboard I made for the opening scene of our short film. It is a reference to Ghost In The Shell's opening scene - "Making of a Cyborg", when Major Motoko Kusanagi wakes up.
