My individual storyboard- Miss Miller

Within the planning process for my thriller opening i had to created a storyboard as this would help me when filming as ill have something to go by to make sure what im doing is correct.The stroyboard included what the camera shot, location, lighting, sound, editing and narrative description would be in each clip, helping me understand what the whole scence would consist off.

For my first frame im using a panning shot which follows a boy walking down a deserted street lit up by street lights. I done this as a deserted street would help add an eery atmosphere allowing the audience to understand something is going to happen, also the low lighting will add suspicion. Also you will hear few cars passing by and the occasion blow of win to add enigma. This will last around 15 seconds and will be a continuos cut as it liniks with the next shot.

For the second frame it will be a zoom in of the boys face, and then slowing zoom out. I have done this as it makes the audience feel like they are the people watching them, creating tension as the audience will feel like they are the people making the boy feel fear. Also the boy will start to turn his head occasionally looking back showing his paranoia as a few voices are mumbled, with the audience not knowing if there are people surrounding the boy or if the boy is hearing the voices, making the audience just as paranoid. This will last a duration of around 25 seconds as the camera angles and what is happerning is a main focus of the opening sequence.

A few more short shots happen while the boy is on the road, then a jump cut is used and we find the boy sitting in his room rocking hearing voices. Allowing the audience to understand that the boy is hearing voices and it is not other people, showing that the boy has a problem. A zooming in will be used showing the boy in a panic as he is unaware of what he is meant to for nor if he is going mad. This will last roughly 20 seconds and a swipe shot wikll also be used showing that the boys head is not normal allowing the audience to feel the same.

Their will then be another jumpcut to the boy being outside in the middle of the street. A long shot of the boy will be used making the audience unaware of who is looking at him, we will then see two shadows and one shadow being stabbed. Icogonarphy o9f a knife will be used and the knife will be dropped on the fllor and this will be the end of an opening sequence. Leaving the audience anware if the boy got stabbed or a ghost of the voices in his head lead him to his own death.
