Offside's Storyboard

 Hey bloggers, today I want to go over our plans for our film, Offsides, a dramatic sports-comedy about a football player’s dream to overcome constant failure and a being looked down upon by all of his peers. Below is a rough draft of our story board, but do understand this is not the final version as we do want to continue adding shots and angles that would compliment some of the ones present in the blog. This is to serve the overall plot and comedic effects we wish to implement into our film opener, so please do enjoy. Thank you.
