The Story Board

The Story Board

As a group we created a story board for the opening sequence of our film. We planned out what shots we wanted to use where and tried to include various different types. We did this in order to display the different skills we have learn't throughout the course so far but also to help enhance our opening sequence. Different camera angles and shots keeps it interesting and so therefore keeps the target audience engaged. We have also ensured that we use certain conventions of thriller cinematography to help identify the tension and suspense, for example a high camera angle can create an inferior/superior relationship between characters and audience. The story board also allowed us to estimate how long our opening sequence will be because we were able to give the shots and scenes timings. We wrote, along the side, the sound we needed to have with each shot also. It is a very basic plan of what the sound is expected to be like at this point but this will be developed during the editing.
