Final Storyboards and Evaluation.

Finally completed! I think adding the arrows really helps to give a better idea of how the camera will move in this short, and I've added the text digitally because I think that'll look a lot better than just hand-writing it with pen.
For presenting, I would also add this piece of artwork-

-which is actually one of my first pieces of concept art- to my pitch. It's a nice visual representation of how dark the story is, and focuses on the mysterious 'Scavenger' character some more, as I feel it's a character that may need to be explained more and could be a good selling point.

Though there is still a few days until hand-in, my evaluation of the 'work-based learning' unit so far is as follows:

In this unit I have learned more about how it might be to work in the actual illustration/animation industry. This has entailed taking on various jobs, from writing and storyboarding to creating visual aids and full illustrations. I've found that my strengths lie heavily in storyboarding, as I'm quite good at visualising how I want things to look in my minds eye and translating it into drawing. This shows in the dramatic perspectives exhibited in certain panels of my storyboard. Screenwriting was also very enjoyable; though I had somewhat more difficulty putting my thoughts into words, it was definitely a good way to organise my concept before drawing it down. Unfortunately, due to the time constraints created by periods of illness and other personal problems, I have thus far been unable to actually present my proposal to others, though writing down my pitch has given me a taste of what is expected in the industry. The knowledge I have gained is adequate enough for me to be able to consider how I would pitch other ideas to an audience. As far as live competitions go, I have mostly been entering into free live challenges as money is currently an issue when there's a fee for entering certain larger competitions. Even so, submitting weekly to Illustration Friday has been a great way of doing some fast-paced artwork and gaining exposure online.
Overall I'm very satisfied with how this unit has developed my skills as a writer and illustrator, and definitely feel well-equipped to showcase my work as either a freelance artist or part of a team, or in a presentation scenario.
