To begin, I simply jotted down any ideas I wanted to include in my Introduction to Me video. This meant that I could draw ideas from the page rather than muddled in my head.

Mood board:
Mood board:
Mood board for ‘Intro to Me’ Film: My intended colour palette will be warm reds and darker blues as new home backdrop is a red wall that I will be sat in front of in a blue hoodie for contrast. I want to show myself in a hoodie as I have a wide collection of them that define me do to their different significances. The Spider verse, Yoda and Hadestown images will be used in the film as they are my favourite film, tv and show. The selection of images including myself are the sort of images I want to present my friends and family image. I may take a few videos of friends and family to back these up. The stickman is to represent a simple animation that I will complete as I also have a love for animation and want to display this.
Now that I had a general idea of what I wanted to include in my Introduction to Me video, I went ahead and began brainstorming to create a concise plan, storyboard and script.
Now that I had a general idea of what I wanted to include in my Introduction to Me video, I went ahead and began brainstorming to create a concise plan, storyboard and script.
Introduce myself with a voice over/ appearance in front of camera and talk basic details about myself including my name, hometown, etc. Possibly do this in animated form.
Shots of my hobbies with voice over explanation of what they are.
Move through pictures and clips of my favourite film, TV, show and land on song. Meanwhile, have a voice over explaining these and appear in frame when it hits music to have a little dance.
Shots of my family going about their everyday lives with text in frame for their names.
Shots of me and my friends hanging out with voice over recording of them talking about me.
If possible, compose a 30 second clip of music for background along with favourite song. If not, find a track on Adobe Stock.
