After debating with Renaissance artists, my main artist being Rembrandt, I moved to the Pre-Raphaelite era. This movement has always been a huge inspiration for me with visual storytelling towards composition, through it's merge with literature and poetry, it seemed more fitting to include artists such as Millais, Rossetti and Waterhouse. The use of the primary planes, depth and awareness of space compared to a Romantist approach became a more suitable comparison compared to Rembrandt's works.

Notes:
Go back to looking at classic Disney examples, they pioneered storyboarding, needs to be mentioned at the very least. Look at Bambi and Pinocchio as they are heavily inspired by the approach of the Renaissance and Gothic. Possibly layout and of course the storyboards, how they relate to these movements. Who inspired Disney? Make this reference of classic paintings within animation into an argument - how this classic method of composition is vital for a storyboard artist. This could be further concluded in the synthesis chapter.
Animation storyboards - influenced through film theory and methods of composition.
For Academic Poster - use two scenes together to compare? thumbnails against the post it notes, different stages etc. Include your current research, your thoughts on how the investigation has influenced through your methodology.
May end up as a blog post in PPP - How this all goes to a good practice of storyboarding, how storyboarding is an art in its own right.
Chapter structure:
Chapter one - Breaking down the composition to breaking down the film to a sequence, to a montage. Moving the Psycho Storyboard analysis to this chapter will not only link storyboards at such an early stage, it will help with the sequential approach to the frames - here we can link Pudovkins love for narrative through refinement in editing.
Continue to add mini conclusions to the end of chapters - 'through this analysis leads us to the next chapter in which....etc'
Argue that Pre-Raphaelite has given meaning to composition, possibly relate more to its merge with literature and how visual storytelling is dominant.
