Storyboard

As a vital part of my film production I had to produce a storyboard to help discipline my creativity of moving image producton. My artistic skills aren't the best, but following the template provided by my teacher I essentially sketched simple illustrations mapping out the the different shots and the editing. The storyboard is simple and clear enough that my production crew will easily be able to follow the instructions and figure where, how and what to do.   

When constructing my storyboard I used my imagination and what I had observed from films to visually conceptualise what I wanted to see on screen.

However, the downside with this is that I am not sure I will be able to provide the locations (asking for permission to use the cemetery) and props (glass to break). If I can't film I will be aware of the fact clearly during filming and the risk assessment I will device.

I've predicted an approximate 2-3 minutes for the complete storyboard to play through and hopefully it will come out fluidly.

The storyboard I’ve devised is a revision of a dream state the main protagonist is caught in. I’ve decided to call this storyboard segment of the opening: the nightmare, to make it easier for myself to identify with the topic I’ve settled on focusing on for filming my opening. It'll basically display the main protagonist having a nightmare, waking up from that night mare (supposedly) to realise that she hadn’t really woke from the dream and right at the end to introduce the start of the film past the opening she finally does have a jostling wake.

This storyboard was inspired by three movies which include movies such as prom night, one hour photo and phone booth. I basically extracted and combined the concepts of all three movies that being the stalking character of prom night the deluded obsessed character of one hour photo and the psychotic observations of the character in one hour photo.

I used these characteristics to form my protagonist character in the hopes of tripling the response all three characters give to the audience but also without losing the realism and uninhibited essence of the characters personality. I've ensure this by making sure all the different character traits are easily ensemble of one another. The misconception that could possibly be drawn from this is that at times the character isn't displaying some of the traits and this could be evidence to misguidance by me of placing too many traits over the characters head.
