Telling Stories

To start I created some draft sketches of my storyboard for the nursery rhyme "Mary Mary Quite Contrary". I researched into how dark this nursery rhyme actually is and found out that the Mary told in this story is Mary Tutor whom is also related to the folklore "Bloody Mary". Also the items that appear in the nursery rhyme, "Silver Bells and Cockleshells", are names of torture devices related to the torture of heretics during Tudor times. This is why I decided to display a mirror in relation to the Bloody Mary folklore said that she is summoned through a mirror, torture devices (Silver Bells and Cockleshells) and represent "pretty maids all in a row" with tied up prisoners (i.e. heretics) being tortured.
Here is my final refined version of my storyboard for Mary Mary Quite Contrary with more information on what happens each stage and how the camera will move around as well as the character Mary.
