Initial Storyboard

 

Explanation: To begin with, we chose the genre of a documentary. Because of this, we will highlight how the life is of a D1 athlete, Cuba. Throughout the movie, we will film the different lifestyle of a student athlete. In the classroom, and on the baseball field. As you can see, we will first start with entering school for a long day. We then will highlight Cuba learning in a classroom to show that he still cares about his academics and that he needs them to attend a top school. After the school day, Cuba will head to the baseball field to put in some work and practice his elite skills. However, after putting in lots of work, Cuba needs to recover at Edison's room to tend to his injuries. Through the pain that he went through, it will all pay off because his commitment decision is in the following day. Of course, Cuba decides to choose Vandy to start his D1 career and follow whatever his heart desires.
