Story Boards..

To begin with we created a conventional 'drawn' story board to get some of our ideas down and then to evaluate them to see what we will keep and what we will change.





This basic storyboard does incorporate most of our ideas although it is not detailed enough for us to go out and shoot our film opening. Also some of these shots we have decided aren't good enough for our final product for example the pan of our characters body that we decided to change as we thought it would be better to use a series of long shots getting closer and closer to give the impression that something is gettting closer to her. We decided to shoot some potential shots we could incorporate into our film to establish which shots would be effective and which wouldn't.

[Potential Shots]



This close up works well as it gives a lot of detail of the characters emotions so this will be effective for our film opening as we need the viewer to empathise with our character so they will want to see what happens to her. We will be using this shot as the character wakes up from her flashback.



This over the shoulder shot is framed really well however it won't create the right effect for our movie opening as the viewer is going to be kept guessing to whether there is something/someone following her or if its her mind playing tricks on her.



This high angle long shot works very well to give the impression of vulnerability. We will definitely be using high angles in our film opening as we want the viewer to know that our character is feeling scared and lonely. This shot also gives the impression she is being watched which is very effective as this is exactly the impression we want to create.

From creating our initial story board and considering all the potential shots we could incorporate in our film opening we have created this final story board which we will be using to go out and shoot our film.
