My scene is now set in an empty cinema (except for the characters). Today I worked on the story and the storyboard

I often find it more helpful to write things out in words before I draw them, so I wrote out the movements and expressions of the characters. I was still feeling hesitant about drawing though, so I started with just planning out the camera angles with in thumbnails underneath. Having these made me feel more confident in drawing the full storyboard.

After finishing the animatic, I realised I’d broken the 180 degree rule. Because of how the Boy turns around to look at the Dad, they are both on the left side of the screen, except for the final shot. However, I don’t think it will be too confusing, because of the setting. When the camera turns to the boy, the room and the seating is reversed as well, so I think it will still be clear where he is looking.
