Story Elements were picked at random for each of the groups. We were given a rags to riches story, two character archetypes included were the initiate who must train to achieve greatness and the creature of nightmares, a character who threatens the heroes life.
Some of the different special objects brought in had to be used as motifs. We used the Eiffel Tower as inspiration for the setting which would be France. As for the rags to riches idea we came up with a street performer/magician and his partner who dream of making it big in Paris. But in a sudden shock his wife dies and he falls into a deep depression. The partner would become jealous when the magician would be taken under the wing of a professional magician and inevitably tries to murder him in an act. I was given the job of designing backgrounds for the storyboard/story pitch.
Taking some inspiration from French towns in the countryside.

Overall, working with the group was a slightly strange experience as I myself didn't entirely know what was needed for the storyboard. I just drew what I envisioned the story to be in the backgrounds. I didn't communicate much physically because of how socially awkward I can be. I mostly just sent the background designs to the Facebook group.
Here is the presentation as a whole.
