Final Storyboard



My first shot of my opening film is a black screen with credits as I want to get the audience's attention before beginning for a duration of 4 seconds to match previous opening credits I have researched.
 My second shot will begin with Katie in the interview room with the voice of Charlie throughout the dialogue. It will be a 'Noddy shot' with Katie on the right side of the frame. It will be a medium close up just of Katie with quiet non-diegetic music under the dialogue.
 My sixth shot (I have edited the order) will be a slow zoom of Rachael tied up within a forest surrounding, a flash into the future. It will begin a medium close ending in an extreme long shot with louder non-diegetic music and no dialogue.
 My fifth shot will be back to the same interview scene as shot two with the same details.
My third shot is a medium shot of Rachael being dragged out the frame after her entering her front door. Either one or two people will grab her. Louder non-diegetic sound will play along with the diegetic sound of Rachael screaming.

My fourth shot is an extreme close up of Rachael's phone on the floor with Katie calling. The non-diegetic sound will be playing as well as the ringtone as the phone rings.

My seventh shot is the same shot as my second and fourth with the same details.

My eighth shot is a medium close up of Katie getting up from her chair in the interview room and leaving towards the door. This will end the interview shots and joint dialogue between Charlie and Katie.


My ninth shot is Katie entering the frame at the top of a flight of stairs with the light behind her as she appears as a silhouette. This will be a long shot and as she walks down the stairs it will end in a medium shot with her on her phone speaking.

My tenth shot is a long shot of Katie to the left of the frame on the other side of the road behaving impatiently.

My eleventh shot is the same long shot of Katie towards the left of the frame and react as Rachael's car pulls up.

My twelfth shot is from a different angle of Katie - long shot - to continue match on action of the car door opening.





 My thirteenth shot is a medium shot of behind my two actors from inside the car. It is of Katie getting in the door to complete the match on action.

My fourteenth shot is inside the car, a medium over the shoulder shot of Rachael whilst she speaks dialogue.

My fifteenth shot is a reserve over the shoulder shot of fourteen of Katie speaking dialogue.

My sixteenth shot is a close up of Rachael's number plate as she pulls away, ending in a long shot as the camera sees her driving away.




I have numbered my comments wrong after the sixth one due to the edits I made when rearranging my shots at the beginning. I'm sorry about this.
I will carry my story boards and shooting script with me when filming every section to ensure these are followed closely.
It is obvious I have over looked and reviewed my story board because of the edits I made at the beginning of my opening. I felt it would make more sense to the audience if they saw Rachael getting captured firstly before the shot of her in the forest. I will make it obvious it is a flash forward by showing Rachael later in the opening in different clothes to show a different time.
