Saul Bass Inspired Posters

Movie Brainstorm 

These are the three types of movies I was going to do my Saul Bass style storyboard on. I listed for each movie the different types of objects that was in the film I could use to create my storyboard.

Y Chart Brainstorm 

After I did my Brainstorm I decided I was going to do Indiana Jones. I made a Y chart brainstorm that was split into feel, look and sound, in each subtitle I wrote all the types action that was presented in the movie that showed these subtitles. 

Handmade Title 

After I completed my brainstorm and my Y chart, I started sketching out my handmade font that I was going to use for my Saul Bass inspired movie storyboard. I also used adobe illustrator and started messing around and experimenting with my movie title with some of the handmade fonts they had.  

Mood Board

After I done my handmade title I decided to do a mood board on all the props, clothing and colours that were presented in the film Indiana Jones. I used this mood board to help choose the objects and props I was going to use for my Saul Bass inspired storyboard.

Sketches of Indiana Jones objects designed in a Saul Bass style

When I chose the objects I was going to use for my storyboard, I started on sketching some of the objects in the film in a Saul Bass so I can put it into my final piece. Out of those sketches I decided I was going to pick three of them the hat, the whip and the holy grail.

Initial Storyboard

When I chose the three objects I was going to use on my storyboard I started drawing my out my rough storyboard. I decided I was going to do a basic scene of Indiana Jones getting chase by a boulder but then spots out the holy grail on a stand that says 'fresh water', tired from all of the running he stops to drink from the holy grail, while he is drinking he realises he is still is getting chase by the boulder and starts running again. I sketched this out on a storyboard template then decided I was going to do the final piece on adobe illustrator as a vector design.

Final Storyboard

Finally I did my final storyboard on adobe illustrator, as Saul Bass design are meant to be simple I only picked three colours for my storyboard red, white and black I also added credits as it was meant to be the opening credit scene to Indiana Jones the last crusade.
