OUR STORYBOARDS ARE COMING TO LIFE....SLOWLY!

There is SO much planning involved in bringing our stories about our
SUPERHEROES to life.

We've had to look at each panel in our storyboard and decide how we are going to 'create' the picture or pictures for that panel.







We wrote our 'image notes' on the back of our storyboards.
















For some panels, we might need to 'google' some images, like these ones for the GREENBAG MAN story.



Or we might need to 'act out' some of the scenes and take a picture.

Here's a picture for a story about not playing properly with the toys at lunchtime.






We've had to really use our IMAGINATIONS and think hard about 'poses' and camera angles...

like for the battle between GREENBAG MAN and PLASTIC MAN.

Many of us are going to use ARTRAGE to paint over or add to a picture.
Here you can see Rubbish Girl in prison and GREENBAG MAN flying.
It's amazing how an ordinary picture can be turned into something incredible!

STORYBOARDING SUCCESS

Today we started planning for the 'superhero' stories we are going to create in Comic Life.

Before we started, we looked at comic books and comic strips in the paper.
We saw how the story is set out in panels and it's often a 'conversation' between the characters.

We also looked at the storyboarding the big kids did at 'Kids Connect' and watched their finished 'comic life' movie.

Now we knew 'how' to storyboard. All we needed next was our story!

We collaborated with a partner on creating the pictures and the text.
Mrs M and Mrs R were 'blown away' by our clever planning.

Here's just a few of the exciting comics coming your way soon.
The adventures of SUPER GIRL - will she succeed in getting others to 'co-operate'?




Water Girl - when water's being wasted, it's Water Girl to the rescue!









Will Waterman stop the evil Flameman from encouraging others to play with fire?




We had so much fun but there's more to come!
Stay watching for our finished stories in Comic Life.
