Here are rough storyboards for my project. If the nature of my project is unknown to you, I posted a Visual Treatment earlier.
These storyboards represent a keyframed point-to-point abstracted version of the visual contents of my project. A lot of detail is missing, such as specific transitions and even in-between points of some shots. I am still not sure about the visual treatment that I am approaching this project with. As touched upon in a reply to a comment left by my Mother, I am somewhat torn between the idea of representing the dreams as faithfully as I can recollect them, and the idea of altering the dreams to provide a coherent or more easily digestible presentation for the viewer.
Some examples : I was having a very difficult time while storyboarding the 3rd dream. There is such an emotional and personal experience element to this dream that is difficult if not impossible to convey when using the convention of 1st person perspective shots that I have decided to use in order to try and accurately represent the visual experience of the dream. A purely audiovisual format is a much much lower resolution type of medium than a real experience of dream or of reality, in the sense that much less can be communicated and be transparent to feeling. I think that I need some way of bolstering that missing information of emotional poignancy, so that it is still present in the work. The challenge is how to do this without completely altering the form of the dream as it was originally experienced. I am unsure of what to do, and am considering whether it is more important to convey the original visual experience of the dream as accurately as possible, or to depart slightly from the original visual experience and in doing so be enabled to better convey the emotional aspect of the dream as it was originally experienced.
At any rate, I thoroughly consider these storyboards to be a starting point, and a place to create changes and build from. A definitely and incrementally defined structure of how this project will come to be, they are not. Nor could they be with my obviously lacking drawing ability which, though getting slightly better, is still sorely in need of bettering. I feel like this is a valuable first step in starting to create the images themselves though, and will work to my benefit in not getting lost in the process of production.
