Flat Plan

 







  When I started the magazine I thought of what a nondescript magazine would look like to model my magazine off of. First, I started on the cover and added the masthead. To follow I placed the cover line and pull quote in their respective areas. Once the cover was done, I moved on to the inside of the magazine.  For the table of contents, I first placed the list of articles and page numbers. Then I added some images and pull quotes to fill the page. Diving deeper into the magazine, I started out with all article space and then broke it up. I added a header, and then a head. I split the article space into columns. I divided that up using  pictures, pull quotes and sub articles. To add further detail I included some captions to some pictures and more pull quotes and images to break up the article space.

Storyboard Practice

I started by coming up with an overall idea of a story that I thought would be fun to tell in a movie format. I settled on the launch of a spaceship because it seemed fun.

Once on the main bridge, the overhead view shows the quick pace they are keeping while being asked many questions.  The next shot is of them talking through a microphone to people outside the ship. They then get ready to launch and a switch flipping montage ensues. This gives the viewer the idea of how much preparation it takes to launch the ship.  The camera then switches to the control room where many people sit busily working on computers and one important person stands in the back. This separation portrays his importance. He counts down from 10, building suspense, and says "Launch!" On the next scene as the spaceship takes off the ground and a massiv...

Story Responses

  I posted comments on several blogs. Unfortunately, I didn't record which blogs were commented on so I cannot say which ones they were. However, all the stories I saw were quite clear stating the story with only a few pictures. Most of the posts I visited involved small tragedies, like falling down the stairs, running into a pole, etc. All were very similar. When the story used a Point of View shot, I felt more connected to the character. I felt a similar feeling with the over the shoulder shot. It gave perspective on how the character is viewing the world.
