Storyboard 3: Hidden

Merrin's magic keeps her safe on the dangerous roads between cities, but her fierce facade is even more effective. She almost never lowers her hood in these dark lands any more, this must be a special occasion.
Hidden could easily be called Reveal, because it is all about the reveal. Building a bit of tension with an image of a sinister figure, the audience will assume certain things about the figure, for instance that they are likely to be male. When the glowing 'eyes' are revealed to be shapes below the eyes, and the face itself is not monstrous but in fact disarmingly beautiful, the trick is complete. I enjoyed creating a story behind who she is and why she does this.
