Storyboard

Storyboard
We have made a storyboard to help us when it comes to filming the actual opening sequence. We had to draw the storyboard and make it as accurate as possible so it can help us as much as possible. We had to draw each shot that we were going to do and describe what camera shots and angles we were going to use.

Above is the storyboard for our opening sequence. As you can see we had to draw each shot that we were going to do. First we had to come up with a story for our opening film. Me and my partner had some discussion into what sort of story we were going to do. This is when we had the idea to have crime scenes and have murders. We then expanded on this by saying that all three murders should be linked. We then had to figure out how we could show the murders being linked, and we thought the best way would be through showing a specific cut on the neck of each victim.

To start of we are showing a phone ringing on the table. The main character then picks it up and speaks. It is hear that we start to learn who the main character is. We then use a range of different shots to show him leaving his house and walking to the crime scene.We then have an establishing shot of the first crime scene to show the location. We then show the main character walking their by using a long shot, and will edit it to jump him moving forward through the editing. We will then follow him walking into the crime scene, and looking at the body, showing a close up of his facial expression.

Then we do different camera shots to show him walking down to the next crime scene. again, we follow him into the crime scene, and we will be using an over the shoulder shot, using the 180 degree rule because their will be dialogue between 2 characters.

We then see the main character look at the body, especially the cut, and i want to show an extreme close up expression of his face, because he has just realise the murders are linked. At this point i want to try and add a flash back of the cut to the body of the previous crime scene. He then leaves this crime scene to go to the last crime scene. Here, all he does he look to see if this body has the same cut (extreme close up) and it does. At which point we will do a long shot with the body on the floor and the main character standing up next to the body speaking on the phone. I want to try and use the rule of thirds for this.
