For this task, I drew the storyboard based on the task design of the previous task. First, I drew each of the storyboard frames I needed.
Then, each storyboard is arranged in story order and combined to form a storyboard.
After reviewing my first draft of the storyboard, the teacher felt that some parts needed revision. The first scene needed to be tilted slightly, like Santa Claus moving. The eighth scene needed an additional shot showing him frantically searching for the Cloud Goddess. The ninth and tenth scenes used too much visual overlap; some adjustments were needed. The ninth scene could be drawn with the Postman small and the Cloud Goddess large. The eleventh scene should be a medium shot, with the Cloud Goddess as the main focus. Scenes 15-16 needed to explain the scene after the little girl enters her dream. Scene 19 should show the Postman standing by the little girl's bed, with an additional scene of him reaching for the black envelope. Scene 22 should show the girl waking up, drawing and coloring a monster, then the camera pans to her holding up the drawing and laughing. The story segments could be described using a narrative style.
I have revised my storyboard.
final storyboard：
I used video editing techniques to edit the animatic. To make each transition more varied, I exported individual items and characters as separate images, adjusted their positions, and added effects such as slow movement and gradual appearance. To better depict the little girl's dream, I also used picture-in-picture and clipping masks to represent the dream.

FEEDBACK
WEEK 13:
Overall Feedback: The teacher felt my storyboard needed improvement.
Specific Feedback: The first scene needs to be tilted slightly, with the character moving like Santa Claus. The eighth scene needs an additional shot showing him frantically searching for the Cloud Goddess. The ninth and tenth scenes use too much visual clash; some adjustments are needed. The ninth scene could be drawn with the Postman small and the Cloud Goddess large. The eleventh scene should be a medium shot, with the Cloud Goddess as the main focus. Shots 15-16 need to explain the scene after the little girl enters her dream. The 19th scene should show the Postman standing beside the little girl's bed, with an added scene of him reaching for the black envelope. The 22nd scene should show the girl waking up, drawing and coloring a monster, then the camera pans to her holding up the drawing and laughing. The story segments can be described using a narrative style.
