I had a good talk with Jo (the kind of tutor not one of the many students by the same name). She looked at a lot of the scenes I had drawn/composed for my story and said a good way to develop/improve them. She suggested looking at films that are shot in interesting and effective ways. She suggested looking at films directed by people like the Cohen brothers, Darren Aronofsky or ones with a strong unique style like Wes Anderson. She also suggested thinking of any memorable cool shots from other films I can remember. This was really useful advice because when I story-boarded my narrative I thought of the transition between scenes like a film and thought about how the camera would move and what sort of shots would be best used. My background in media studies helped a lot with this.
Here are some of the initial shots that came to mind.

 This is the best image of a shot from 'Requiem for a Dream' (2000) which happens to be directed by Aronofsky.












This is a shot from 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' (2004) directed by Michael Gondry. I'll talk more in depth about what makes a scene effective in a later post.
