Storyboard on Travelling + Arriving

Travelling and Arriving is a major part of teen films as it not only tell us about the location of the characters, but it is usually the first time the viewers see the characters and is where they make their first judgement of the characters. 

For example, if you see a character arriving in a BMW, you would assume they came from a rich family and was spoilt.
If a character travelled by skateboard, you'd assume they were part of a skater clique or by scooter, you'd assume they are retro or against the idea of the stereotypes. 

Who is in the car with them will also gives us a background story for the particular character. If the character arrives in the front seat with their family, it could suggest they are close or a lot of pressure. However if the character is sitting at the back of the car, it could suggest a distance between them and the parents.




We attempted our own opening include a character arriving to a location.

Our character arrives by skateboard, but rather than focus on the skateboard itself and assuming things about the character, we decided to reverse it and focus on the character and giving him the skateboard as a prop, which links his character to the typical stereotype a skateboard is usually noticed by.
