Rastaman Final Image: 6

This image is the final image of the story that embodies the resolution. Here Rastaman has reached enlightenment and the goat that dragged him to the top of the mountain is disappearing in the bottom righthand corner to reveal itself as a hallucination that embodied his own will power. However, it is not very clear that the goat is present in the image, but the viewer can clearly see that Rastaman has reached a more positive place and is at peace.

Rastaman Final Image: 5

This image depicts the scene where Rastaman see's the blurred outline of a goat when he awakens several hours later after he collapsed from OD'ing. This is the view that Rastaman see's as he stretches out his hand to grab onto the goat to be rescued. Most of my peers found this to be the most effective image of all the 6, clearly depicting the predicament of Rastaman by blurring the image and using high exposure. I have also continued the element of illustration in this photo.

Final Rastaman 6 Film Stills

These 6 images are my final visual embodiments of the Rastaman story I presented in my sketch book in my previous post. They are layout here like a comic book would be. I'm overall quite proud of my final 6 images. However, in the last image there is a goat slowly disappearing, which isn't very clear at all.

Storyboard Development: Rastaman

This is my developed idea of the 6 still images of my Rastaman storyboard. In this version Rastaman lies on the floor of his apartment after he OD's on cocain because his wife left him for a Doll. The Doll then feels as though she needs to do something to help Rastaman and presents him with a flyer, which advertises 'The Path to Enlightenment' -  a course up a mountain that offers enlightenment at the summit. Rastaman contemplate the idea and decides to go. However, when he reaches the mountain he finds that it is covered in cocain instead of snow and he must resist temptation in order to reach enlightenment. As he climbs the mountain he can no longer resist the drug and ends up OD'ing and collapsing. Rastaman awakens hours later, weak, to see the blurred outline of a goat in front of him. He grabs onto the goat in hopes that he will drag him to safety. The goat then drags Rastaman to the top of the mountain where he finds enlightenment and it is revealed to him that the goat was a hallucination that symbolised the strength of his own will power.
