Research Board

Today i attempted to create a research board asked for by Richard, the tutor, to be able to do this i had to decided on which James Bond movie i wanted to animate and create a 30 seconds trailer for.

Now while this task may seem simple, its actually rather difficult, this is because you need to either watch the films one by one to see what sort of things you could put into the trailer, or watch another trailer for the films and pick bits out of it you would like to animate and you think that would interest viewers and keep them interested. As i have already seen the majority of the Bond film's i decided to simply remind myself of them by watching the trailers, after doing this i picked a few of the films i would like to animate, and from there i choose ones i thought would have enough parts for me to be able to animate for 30 seconds without having to put in odds bits and pieces to make the trailer longer.

After this i was stuck with two films still, so i started to create a research board for each, providing i have done the research boards correctly, which as i have never made one before i believe to be very unlikely, each of these research boards contains stills from the film which i believe contain information that is key to the relevant film. The kind of information within the stills shows that the film's key points as well showing the kind of things that would get the viewers interested, an example of this could be within the Casino Royale research board, one still has someone holding two cards, both Aces, and as this film's story at parts revolves around a poker game i believed this still was important.

I will be uploading the actual research boards tomorrow as im not sure if they are correct and want to make sure i have done them right, or partially right before uploading them, though if they are wrong then i might upload them anyway just to remind myself of my first attempt at a research board.
