Narrative Studies: Mingxia Storyboard (Development 3)




Storyboards: Transformation

I was a bit unsure how to go about the transformation. I didn't know if I should keep the glowing hair, or even to put in the patterns. I decided to go for it, because her glow is a bit part of her transformation, to give her the 'holy' look.
I wondered whether I should give the patterns color or keep it white and glowing like everything else. I wanted to add color because I took out the orange lantern scene from the old script. After asking for some feedback from a couple of classmates, they asked me if the gold color was necessary enough to put in the storyboard. At that moment, I thought that maybe it wasn't. Maybe I just wanted some color. Other classmate added that the gold could have a link to some gold on the sword, to make it clear that she can only transform because of that sword. I thought that would be a great idea, as it would also put more emphasis on the sword itself









In my new script, Jaakko has no lines. I'm going to be altering it a little so when he's helping Mingxia up, he'll say something along the lines of
 "Please be careful /don't do this/ take it easy/maybe we should re think this"












And instead of Mingxia speaking straight to the beast, I'll do it so she talks to Jaakko instead. So She'll say things like "He took Jianquo, I'll destroy him." Instead of speaking directly. Maybe I should have another box where she turns to him and says something a bit out of character for her. Like something nice or protective. Something that also shows a bit of her true emotions or feelings.
I think I'll see how much space I have left, then I'll add it, as I think it is important.
