Storyboard
Most people think that a couple with similar personality or likes can be together for a very long time and couple with opposite personlity will have problems facing each other. But haven't you heard - opposite attracts?
My story illustrates a couple who often has to walk in opposite direction in their relationship. Nope, is not usual turn left turn right love story. What it seems that they are moving further from each other, but actually they are moving closer to each other each day.
(3) They both take the same Bus 132 to JCs but the bus moves in opposite direction.
(4) They both take train to work but the train moves in opposite direction.
(5) However despite moving in opposite directions, they always manage to hold hands to walk closely with each other
(6) There are times they felt stretched when they moved in opposite directions.
(7) A wise man once told them - Why is LOVE in this shape? Not a circle not a square? They both begin at the same point. As they walk, there are times they seem that they are moving away from each other. However if they had persevere on and believe that they can work together against all odds, they would find themselves moving together which strengthed their love. The solid line represents where they are right now in the relationship. What seems to be in opposite direction now seems them that the 2 lines will meet again. Will they continue to walk following the dotted lines? Or will they continue to walk in and meet at the finishing point when the heart shape will be completed?
(8) At times, when they felt they are moving away distant from each other, they turned to God and prayed and allowing God to hold their hands to make the distance in this relationship more bearable.
(9) The day came and He got down to propose to Her.
(10) They reached the final point of the heart shape. Together they start another heart shape in their new chapter of their life.
Music
I will be giving a shot to compose my own music using the Apple keyboard and other musical instrument to test. The music genere is not fixed yet and i am still exploring.
Video
If time really permits, I would hope to use Adobe Premiere for this project as the features are more exciting! Otherwise, I would be using Window Movie Maker and I think is one of the best video maker that allow you to put a show together in like a few steps! No need to be Steven Spielberg or Peter Jackson to produce a 5 stars rating movie. Hehe...
Feedback from Class
Some commented the meaning of the "Love" shape was interesting and can be further build on the highlight. I was also advised to use actor and actress for the main leads as it will be better. However I think i will still stick to soft-toys as it gives a more interesting visual as human can be kind of distracting.
