Storyboard
Even though I only roughly started coming up with my idea, I wanted to make a storyboard out of the current ideas I had to help me develop it and come up with new ideas.
Developed storyboard
My idea has slightly changed and developed. I am mainly focusing on the subject desiring freedom because of isolation and the impact it has had on them rather than showing them slowly get crazy because of it.
Change of plan
I originally wanted to include a dance throughout the film. However, the area I wanted to shoot has been under construction for a while. It was the only suitable location for a dance because there isn't much room in my house. I am quite disappointed I can't include the dance because it would've been my first time trying something like that.

Post-Production
Stop Motion
For Stop Motion I decided to use an app instead on Photoshop because I was struggling to export it on there. I used an app called Stop Motion Studio. I used my camera for the images and transferred them to my phone to make the stop motion. Then I exported the final outcome to my MacBook.
Editing footage
For post-production I didn't do anything fancy. The majority of it was cutting down shots, mixing them together and moving them around. This was the longest part of the process because I had to play back many times to make sure I was cutting at the right part. I also added fades and dip to black for the first and last crane shot to make it look smooth. The title at the end also fades but I used the opacity for that. For retouching the shots, I done multiple things such as changing the temperate in the jelly shots, increasing contrast, adding shadows and changing highlights. I didn't want it to look overdone so I changed appropriately. I wanted the music to fade in the end with the title so I done that manually.
