The first part of the storyboard development began with a group session, with the entire year group divided into small teams with each group focusing on a section of the story. These segments were then broken down further, with each individual of the group creating a single frame for their sequence. Each individual frame of the large-scale storyboard was developed using charcoal on a single sheet of A1 paper.

This image, which I created, is one of the A1 size frames featured in the large-scale storyboard. It depicts the moment in the story when king Kreon, accompanied by his guards, exiles a pleading Medea from the kingdom as the Chorus watches from the background.
Within the image, there is a clear contrast between the two groups of characters, with one consisting of sharp, solid form, which could be seen to represent authority, and the other appearing softer, creating a more gentle perception.
This group exercise was created to introduce the students to the type of process used to develop a full storyboard for a script before they attempt to create their own storyboard based on their individual designs for the production.
