Film Production- Storyboard




The first shot is an insert of Elf #1's feet as he walks down the hallway and approaches the conference room. It attempts to create a feeling of earnestness and curiosity as to where the board member is going and what will ensue.

The second shot is a mid-shot of the Board of the North Pole at the end of the conference table, with the President of the Board and Elf #2 waiting for Elf #1 to sit in his empty seat. This tries to create an effect of seriousness and urgency to the situation of Santa Claus being fired.

The third shot is an insert of a "Missing Rudolph" poster. This shot signifies the importance of Santa Claus's faults, as seen by losing his most important reindeer.

The fourth shot listed is a wide shot of the Easter Bunny entering the conference room and slowly walking out after listening to the commotion. This shot attempts to incorporate humor by providing relief to the tension after addressing Santa Claus's wrongdoings, which could be seen as an absurd circumstance.

The fifth shot is a mid-shot of the President of the Board shuffling through documents after their discussion. This is to express the stress and frustration of the President of the Board while in the process of firing Santa Claus.

The final shot listed is a mid-shot of Santa Claus after he is fired and the Board begins to file out and exit the room. It attempts to express the shock of Santa's reaction by being fired, while everyone else appears to move on.

Most, if not all of our peers mentioned the low sound quality of the film. They stated that some parts of the opening were quiet, however, when it was presented to the class, the volume was already on the low end of the scale.

Final Submission

We decided to revise the film by cutting a take on the elves’ reaction after Santa clause fails to recount that it is the day after Christmas. We aimed to have the take run a little more smoothly and cut down on the pause before the reaction of the elves.
