Storyboarding
From my research, I was familiar with the Museum of Vancouver's Dollhouse Chair collection, as such I took the lead in the storyboards for filming that collection. I focused on ensuring specific chairs were included and I paired the pieces together that told stories about the history and hobby of miniature-making.
Additionally, I used my knowledge of filming and shot composition to communicate how the shots were set up as well as to ensure that the important elements of the subject were highlighted.

H986.43.202, H2008.23.89, H985.49.31b
These three chairs are in different areas and explain, different things about dollhouse furniture and miniature furniture. As a whole, bringing them together was a great opportunity to contrast different reasons why this furniture was created.

These chairs are a perfect example of what we aim to achieve in our documentary. I also presented an option to use them for transitions utilising my understanding of camera movement and shot construction.

In dollhouse furniture and miniatures, they are various sizes of miniature furniture. These pieces are on the larger end and I felt it was important to have examples of what they would look like this transition was an option for that.
