The main focus of the animation was the phone, which stayed in the same spot on the screen to solidify the main focal point of the story. At first I decided to have it not move at all and use the same image throughout, but I found useful tools when selecting the vector meaning I could slant it sideways to make it seem like it was turning, creating angles and dimensions to the animation.
Initially this storyboard consisted of a busy city background and buildings, but after some sketching and drawing together we came to the conclusion that it would be much more straightforward to use a background that is unfocused and more of a natural landscape. We found this out by trying to plan out exactly how we would illustrate zooming out of a city into space: this would be a challenge considering we were beginners at animation.
As we went along, I found that certain elements needed to be removed, such as the character wanting to take a selfie with the moon - a humorous element but it seemed difficult to fit into the timeframe.
The punchline of the comedic plot was the breaking of the selfie stick at the end, which I made happen gradually through shifting piece of the line around.
