Storyboard: End of the World Version 3.0 (Final)

One day, Sarah went to her boyfriend’s house without telling him. The moment she reached there, she saw her boyfriend holding a girl’s hand. Sarah got mad, her boyfriend quickly released the girl’s hand and started yelling at Sarah, trying to explain to her as soon as he noticed Sarah. Sarah ignored him.

She then rushed home in a bad mood. Her mother started nagging at her as Sarah simply threw her shoes around. Sarah was annoyed, she straight walked through the living room and entered her room. She banged on the door, sat on her bed, trying to calm herself down. Yet Sarah's mother came and knocked on the door, nagging at her. Still, her phone kept on ringing. It’s her boyfriend. He was spamming messages and calls, trying to reach her. Sarah got mad, she threw pillows onto the floor, trying to release her anger. She cried and started to blame on the others. She then shouted: "Can everyone just disappear?". A few moments later, she felt hungry and went downstairs, called her mother to ask for some food. She searched for her mother, but she saw nobody. She then walked out of the house trying to search for people, but she can't find one.


She walked around her neighborhood, knocking on her neighbors' houses, but no one replied. She became worried, started shouting for people. For hours, she can't find anyone. She then started to regret, squatted down and cried, blaming herself as she thought talking nonsenses had caused them to disappear.  

Suddenly, she noticed a car miles away from her was flashing and horning at her. She was happy as she thought she finally found someone, she stood up and wave at the car, but moments later, the car wasn't stopping and almost rushed onto her. She thought the car would have run onto her, she shocked and quickly covered her face. A few seconds later, she felt weird and then opened her eyes. The car stopped right in front of her, there wasn't anyone in the car. The moment she felt weird, the car started to disappear. She slowly raised her head, looked up at the sky, only noticed what had happened.

She felt helpless, then lowered her head walked back to her house. As she walked through the living room, she saw the news on the television, it was the doomsday. She then walked back to her room, looked out the window.

First Atempt


After showing Mr. Martin my first attempt, he asks me to cut short a bit for my final video and then also change a bit color tone for my video. Besides that, Mr. Martin also askes me to do some details for the final part and make both reflected city closer. He also asks me to add the news scene on the starting part.
