Storyboarding

For my film opening, I chose to use the Waldo character.  The film will begin with "Waldo", played by my brother, getting ready for school. In the voice over in this first scene, Waldo will explain how he used to travel the world and visit famous landmarks, but he ran out of money. He says that each job he applied to rejected him because he never graduated high school. This is when the audience can predict the plot to a greater extent. In this first sequence of shots, Waldo will appear peculiar when he picks a shirt out of a closet full of the same shirt, eats a breakfast of lucky charms, and has a backpack that only has crayons and paper in it. Waldo is shown driving to school with a very excited expression. Waldo will walk into school and joyful music will play in the background. Waldo will find his first class with an establishing shot of the room, making him stand out. Next, Waldo will walk down the hallway and wave to random students in the hallway. Waldo will be shown from a high angle shot of the courtyard during lunch, where he stands out from the other students. The opening will end with Waldo remarking "This will be fun". Then, the title will appear with the words striped with red and white. This opening will use Waldo's out-of-placeness to include humorous situations and events. The audience can enjoy this modern depiction of the beloved character as a high school student.
