STORYBOARDING

To plan our NFT short film we drew up a story board to allow us to know step by step exactly what to film. This was really helpful in our filming process and definitely saved us time.

We plan to start the film with an opening shot of a door to signify the beginning of the journey of feminism and the metaphorical doors about to be opened for women such as the right to vote. Our second shot was of a woman in a kitchen cooking as she puts down a mixing bowl and puts on a ‘votes for women’ suffragette sash and then walking out the door. This is symbolic for after world war one when homemakers were beginning to join the fight for women’s rights. Their involvement on the home front made bounds for the women’s rights movement. Our second shot is of our model walking across a room, picking up a sign saying ‘WOMEN’S RIGHTS’ and walking out the door. This shot is inspired by the 1960s so the room and model will be dressed according to that periods style. This is inspired by the second wave of feminism where women participated in protests for equality which were made more prevalent with civil rights protests happening at the same time. In the last shot, the model, dressed glamorously, walks across the room, looks into a mirror and then directly into the camera and flounces away. This shot is inspired by the 3rd wave of feminism which alleges that feminists have achieved all that they wanted and women and now equal to men. According to this, the model is carefree and is emancipated from her sexuality. She looks into the mirror to show vanity. which is allowed by 3rd wave feminists as she is taking control of her own image. By looking into the camera she acknowledges the audience for the first time. This shows her confidence with her new persona and awareness for the current state of the modern world where women are free to be who they want
