L/O: Explore ideas in response to a given brief
Task 1
The Simpsons
Task 2
At first Bart is seen writing on a blackboard before leaving school on his skateboard. Homer is then seen leaving his job at the nuclear power plant. It then cuts to a scene of Marge shopping for groceries with Maggie. Another shot shows Lisa in her music class before she leaves as well. They are then all seen returning home via various memes before sitting down on the sofa to watch TV as a family.
The animation is unrealistic but simple, it is digital animation.
The whole opening sequence is about a minute and a half long.

Storyboard
Task 1
Create a mind map that explores potential ideas for the storyboard.
- Scene 1 - It opens on a scene of hell's gates, then zooms in on a title.
- Scene 2 - Nova is introduced playing a guitar on a mini throne of hell, Corvo is introduced reading on a seat next to her
- Scene 3 - The camera would zoom in behind Nova and Corvo into the sky, revealing the title of "Twin Paths" burning into the shot.
- Scene 4 - The camera shoots down across Hell to the ground showing the episode title.
Create a storyboard that details direction and dialogue for the title sequence using your best ideas from the mind map.
- No voiceover, maybe an opening narration that introduces the setting
- I'm not great at music so theme tune I have no idea
