First Scene of Bomb Suit Mark
Storyboard Description
This storyboard is based on the article "Bomb Suit" by Mark Boal. This is the opening scene from the article which would be the perfect start to a biographical film on Mark Boal. In my rendition of this portion of the article, it would make the audience feel like they are in the chaotic streets of Baghdad. It would also present Boal as a very cool, calm, and collected individual which is what he projects throughout the article.
