Storyboard final

After reviewing my last storyboard and concepts, I decided to simplify my designs and animation further in order for it to feel like a title sequence because the last few designs I did felt more like a short animation and not a title sequence. I decided to simplify the images down to key images that are involved in the story line such as key features of the characters in order to give a glimpse of the significant characteristics.

I decided to keep the background black in order to make the bright colours stand out more, and also to keep with the dark themes of the novel. I want the images that flash up to be expressive and scratchy to fit with the dark atmosphere I want to create. 

I'm not too sure what I want the music to be like. I'm hoping to find a piece of music that is loud and upbeat but also low in tone to fit with the animation and also the dark theme of the novel.

Overall, I feel like my storyboard clearly shows the atmosphere I want to create, and also involves colours and imagery that fit with the novel. I quite like the idea of having significant objects and images that are associated with the characters as the key focus of each frame. 

My next step is to create test shots of the animation using oil paints of glass, because I have never tried this technique before and I feel like it would fit with the messy theme.
