Coffee ( A Dangerous Drink) (Project "Joke Video")

We used Kyle Loftus’ storyboard of joke number 5.  The process of turning the visual storyboard into a video was generally fairly simple with the benefit of minor changes.  We chose a storyboard that was clear in the direction they wanted the story to follow.  The most difficult part of this assignment was the constriction of creative freedom.  There were times when we wanted to add or take away movements or change dialogue to make things more natural, but we had to constantly remind ourselves that we had to strictly follow the storyboard.  Specific issues that we had to compromise from the storyboard were timing issues.  In the storyboard, Kyle stated actions lasting a specific time amount such as “after about 15 seconds of standing there in disbelief he puts down his business card and walks away,” or “after writing for about 2 minutes she notices everything is back to normal” and because of the time restraints on the video we were not capable of following these directions specifically.  Another complication when filming was that the storyboard stated that the event was to take place in Baker, but obviously for noise and availability purposes it was not ideal to film there so setting and scenery were not perfectly fitting.  We feel that overall the storyboard was reasonably well written and laid out, and we believe our adaption was quite respectable.
