Story 1 (Female): The protagonist is on a search for a weapon somewhere within the facility she has just entered. This weapon has untold powers and she wants it. In this animation, we view her walking through the corridors. She has no problems making it through. She comes up to a door with a lock pad. she enters a code and again has no problem moving along. She goes through and comes to a room with the weapon shes been looking for. The thing is, that its on the other side of a holo/light bridge. She proceeds across, when suddenly gun turrets activate and begin to shoot. Again, this is no speacial feat for our protagonist as she continues to walk, protected by a forcefield surrounding her body. She comes up to the glass container encasing the weapon (sword). The shot pans to her face, and we see the reflection of the weapon in her eyes. The shot goes black, and then the title transitions in for the end of the short film.

I want to give this film the feel of a movie/game trailer. As for the plot, premise, and theme, I hope to convey the idea of a new beginning. The already veteran fighter is looking to start a new journey. And with this weapon she wants so badly, she may be able to accomplish it. Her cold tactics my give the viewers the idea that she may be in for revenge possibly.

Story 2 (Male):  The protagonist finds himself cornered and held at gunpoint. He has his back to a panoramic glass window overlooking a very high and steep cliff. The setting is out in the desert surrounded by mountains, so theres no one who would see the assault go down. But, just as we think he may be done for, he glances back at the window. The shot goes outside looking up at the window as it breaks violently with the protagonist jumping out . His head first, diving pose suggests he did this himself and not being shot. How will he land? The camera looks out to the mountains as we see a tiny flash/sparkle. Its a flying vehicle. It zooms fast enough to where the Protagonist lands on the cockpit top. He looks back at the place he had just escaped and the back to the front. Black screen*. Title transitions in and the short film is over.

This film idea too, is trailer-esque. The idea behind this one is regret. He has escaped from the facility and near death, but the long glance back at the place suggests that he feels incomplete. Maybe he failed to rescue someone, or didn't finish a mission.

Note: I have been having trouble uploading the 12 storyboard slides for each story, but they shall be uploaded for visual reference as soon as i can get them to work.
