Storyboard 

    I'm unsure as to why exactly I arranged the shots in the order I did.  I knew somewhat immediately that if I was going to have someone turning off lights it would be at the end of the film for dramatic effect.  I felt that the letter was going to be the basis of the conflict in the film.  I did a lot of drawing when I was younger and, though this was an exceedingly quick sketch, I felt it was relatively easy because some of my acquired skills haven't entirely left me.  I made sure to make notes in the scenes where I either facial expression was key to the shot or where things were in or out of focus.

    One major hiccup I ran into in pre-production was that someone else was using the glue gun, our designated gun prop.  Getting the equipment together and finding a good spot to shot came relatively easy.  Though, we needed to find an extension chord to make the lamp useable.  Our prop selection was overall pretty limited, given that the "letter" that was meant to drive the plot of my film was a TASCAM manual.

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to completely finish my storyboard film.  However, the few shots I did get were very much in line with what was on the storyboard.  My priority was to act in accordance with the plan I made so I didn't put much emphasis on how the film actually looked, in terms of lighting and such.  I definitely think that if I had actual filmed every shot, I would have had a pretty accurate recreation of my storyboard with some pretty good shots as well.  Devin was very helpful in getting me caught up on the assignment and helping me film what few scenes I could.
