Final Storyboard Design

Inspired to begin the storyboard process as soon as possible in, order to complete it before the project deadline, I used an A5 sketchbook, assigning a single frame to each page. I sketched basic shapes and positionings for each character with a pencil, still designing them with the appearances for a Classical Greece depiction of the story.

As a storyboard should always portray the perspective of the audience for the performance, I positioned each frame to appear as though it were static as to fit the idea of the audience being seated in rows of chairs. Through these rough sketches I was able to determine the minimum number of frames required to depict the entire performance clearly, portraying the story within a single storyboard.

Once the transposition of the text was complete and the costume designs were finalised, I returned once again to developing the storyboard, this time with the intention of updating the designs within to depict the performance more accurately. To achieve this, using a set of art pens, I coloured over the original pencil sketches before adding lines and details with a fine-tipped, black art pen. Each image of the storyboard features the scenes' characters, stage lighting and a short caption explaining what is happening in the scene.
