First taste of story boarding

Today I had my first lesson on what is and how to make an effective story board. There was a large amount of information that came my why and I have had very little experience with story boarding previously so most of todays information was completely new to me. We all (as a class) had to create story boards between 12-18 slides for an animation of a nursery rhyme. I found this task much more challenging than I thought I would as there was so much to think about. This was the first time I'd ever had to properly think about camera angles, transitions between shots and how they effected what I was trying to communicate. Some feedback suggested that my shots were a little dull, which I agree with looking back at my work. For the redraft of our story boards I plan to try and think more about approaching shots from different angles (eg. from above or below the character) instead of boring dead on shots, as different angles can convey completely different moods and tones to my audience.
