After client briefing sessions, me and my classmate Yi found the NHS prostate cancer project more interesting to develop as an animation due to the peculiarity of the topic, which makes it quite challenging when considering sensitivity of the topic and the aim audiences. Nevertheless, we wish to face this challenge and produce an animation with all the ability we learned in the past to make it perfect.
After listening to the one hour audio provided, we carefully examined the main topics we wish to focus on in order to extract the most important part of audio to support the animation. The main elements we want to highlight are: early diagnosis, breaking taboo, raising awareness, encouraging to speak up and the most affected community.
Firstly we finished audio editing so Yi could develop a first sketch of storyboard. However, after refining two times the storyboard we still feel trapped by the excessive images which only depict the audio, we consented to modify the storyboard to a more abstract, visual and creative style that allows audience to interpret themself following the audio.
