1st Attempt Storyboard

This is my 1st attempts at the storyboard for the commercial.

 

The image above is a photo of the original first draft, after I got feedback the teacher advised some parts that I could've expanded on, for example the part where time moves backwards could be played forward during the first section as some kind of establishment of the setting, and that I could add reaction shots of the other competitors to give them more personality.

The image above shows the second iteration of the storyboard where I listened to the teachers feedback and added some character to the competitors and used the forward playing shots before the race to conform with a stereotypical time reverse scene.

My inspirations for this scene was a scene from a movie titled "X-Men: Apocalypse" where it shows a character running in regular speed while everything seems slowed down, the ideas I used from it was an idea of a shot where it shows the time manipulation to something that is affected by it, in the scene it was the bee touching the flower, in my commercial it was the first 3 scenes that was somewhat unrelated to the main subject, the second idea I used was the time manipulation idea but I put a spin on it to match the name of the product.

Self-reflection:

    I found it hard to search for inspirations as it was hard for me to find content that my target audience would enjoy so I instead turned to looking for movies that my target audience would enjoy as I think that movies and references to them would be something to interest my audience.
