Part B - Analysing Clara's Storyboards Pictures

Picture 1 - In this picture there is a girl, who is displaying the "new girl" in the school walking into her first class. The class room is depicted as being a "dark" place due to the lighting. The new girl is also circled by light, which may be to display her loneliness and to highlight that she is by herself. This is also a low angled shot, to display that the new girl feels small, lonely and nervous.

Picture 2 - The lighting is still similar, as the classroom is dark and contains shadows. However, there is no light surrounding the new girl. The new girl is bend over with papers around her, which could identify that she has dropped her books and papers. This can be an embarrassing moment for a new girl, and people could be laughing at her. This then continues, as you see that the new girl is now coloured green. I feel that this is signifying her alienation from the other students, as she feels embarrassed and out of place.

Picture 3- This is a picture of a clock, on a basic wall. However, the new girl has been edited into the clock to make a strong effect of how time is passing. The girl has been edited into the clock so the picture can be related to the whole storyboard. Also, the girl may be in the clock due to the fact that the new girl may be continuously looking at the clock, due to her not enjoying her first day at her new school.

Picture 4- In this picture, there seems to be a normal sized tea cup. Next to the teacup is the new girl, however she is very small. This is to signify how small the girl feels, as she is new and thinks she doesn't fit in. Usually when you feel upset, you also feel small at the same time and unimportant. The teacup is placed into the shot as it makes the viewers identify that the new girl is small.

Picture 5- Here is a shot of the new girl at lunch or recess, and you can identify this as the girl is outside. The picture is taken from inside a building, as there is a border around the girl (because the shot was taken from inside a window). The girl is by herself, and she is in black and white. This is most likely because she still feels lonely and upset. The background is coloured to identify the difference in the girls colours and the outside colours.

Picture 6- This is the last picture in the storyboard, and the viewers can clearly tell that the girl is not black and white anymore, but rather she is coloured like the background. Probably because she is no longer by herself, and is with another school girl. Both of the girls face seems very happy and over joyed, because now they both have company. It signifies that the story has ended and the new girl is now happy and has a new friend.
