Font ideas for opening sequence and credits

For the animation itself we plan to create a captivating intro and a good outro in response to the tone of our animation and story line. Correct visuals need to be taken in order for this to happen. Below I have compiled a selection of fonts I believe will work with our animation piece the fonts on display represent the the themes and context of the animation piece. I chose these fonts in perticular as the were not too outrageous with their celtic and irish designs but maintained those themes in a modern type way, The intro and outro will be a short animated composition as well as fonts will utilise colors and motion to once again fit in well with our animation piece.

Story board draft

Here are some images of storyboard examples i found from helpful websites in learning how to make a storyboard.

Here is a photo of the story board i drew out

Here is a rough story board detailing the events of the 1916 rising that could be used for our media project animation I made the story board in relation to the 6 slides of comic style animation that we are doing for the project.As discussed and planned before a back story was going to be a component of our animation but as I was wrinting the story board I found that doing just the whole day itself was more efficient and would be a better way to tell the story in relation to the type of animation we are doing.

0.       Title card. A graphic and aesthetic title card for the intro of our animation

1.       Slide one.slide one would contain the march of the irish volunteers from liberty hall to the gpo

2.       Slide two.slide two would have after capturing the gpo Padraig pearce reading out the proclamation above a crowd.

3.       Slide three.Slide three would have the irish march on Dublin castle the british hq in where the first shots were fired and where the irish retreated back to city hall

4.       Slide four.slide four will be the most dramatic of the slides detailing the arrival of 16000 british troops the next day into Dublin and chaos desending on to the streets.

5.       Slide five.slide five would detail the city in ruins and the surrender of the irish and peace being declared by the waving of the white flag

6.       Slide six.slide six would show the emotional execution of the irish heroes of the rising

7.       Outro.The outro would be a credits card of the participants of our group

With this story board all at the same time would encorparate narration and music that would suit the tone of this animation
