Storyboard for A Trip to Remember

               Welcome back to my blog reader! Here is my storyboard for my short film named “A Trip to Remember”   Page 1 : The film starts with a young women named Gabriela, who is sitting is sitting at her bed while reading a book as the camera zooms in into a medium close - up . Then, it cuts to a close-up of the phone as she receives a message.
