Narrative studies: MingXia Storyboard (Development part 4)

Another part of the storyboard, the middle is missing because I used the storyboard for the last script, as it is pretty much the same, I just left out a couple of boxes.



I'm having a little trouble on picture 23. I'm unsure of angle, and how to make the claw look with making it clear that it knocked MingXia into a rock. I'm afraid it'll look a lot like this scene. 

But that might not be such a bad thing, it'd just make the fist scene like.. foreshadowing. But then it cuts to The beast standing over Mingxia and her rock as she is crouched over or lying down, seemingly defeated till Jaakko distracts him (by throwing the spear into his eye). So maybe make Mingxia visible while getting thrown into the rock. 

I think I will just go for a wide shot where it clearly shows the beasts hand, and the smashing into a rock. Maybe a camera shot would be suitable. And a lot of wind spinning things, like in the anime references I was looking at. It would make it dramatic and forceful.












































For the end scene, where the sword is swinging at the camera, I want a scratchy, rough look, one where the sword is only just barely recognizable. It supposed to give a fast, quick dramatic effect. This effect is usually used in the end of episodes in anime or even just dramatic scene.
Hunter X Hunter is a good example. Though it's a bit too intense for what I'm trying to go for. And this is just for the character themselves, not objects or weapons. The 2nd picture would be a good start, and wold give the fast effect.

This was the first idea, but without using my references. Wasn't as intense as I liked. As Mingxia is putting all her heart and strength into the swing. I want something with a bit more pomp and power.




My second attempt. Not as intense as the Hunter X Hunter examples, but I didn't want it that intense anyway. So I feel like this is fine for just a storyboard picture.
