Greetings, everyone. In the coming-of-age film, the selection of attire plays a pivotal role in depicting the characters' development and personal journeys. For the protagonist going through a transformative journey, initial scenes showcase them in casual and rather unremarkable clothing, symbolizing their mundane and ordinary life.

 Hi Everyone! Developing a storyboard for the introductory segment of a coming-of-age short film involved a thoughtful approach to capture emotions and character evolution in a straightforward manner. Initially, we analyzed the script to pinpoint crucial moments and feelings essential to the protagonist's development. Furthermore, we crafted rough sketches to outline the scene order and illustrate the story's progression. Our focus was on framing scenes, selecting camera angles, and ensuring an engaging pacing to maintain coherence and interest. Balancing creativity with visual coherence posed a challenge, with each drawing aiming to contribute to the core themes of the coming-of-age movie. Ultimately, the storyboard served as a guiding tool for us, providing a visual foundation for the emotionally-driven storytelling typical in coming-of-age movies.
