Storyboards

These are the storyboards that we made in our group for the opening sequence of our film. 

The first shot is an establishing shot that moves down to show the main character entering the building. The shot will be a very high/birds eye shot to make him seem smaller. There will be diegetic sound of cars going past but no music.

The second and third shots shows the main character entering the building holding a letter, the camera starts in an over-the-shoulder shot and moves out to show him entering the building. 

The Main character then goes into 'Room 101' this is shown from a high angle with a CCTV camera effect. There will be diegetic sound of machinery and footsteps, it will be a medium long shot and should move on an axis on a reverse arc to replicate the movement of a CCTV camera. After a second or two he is shown running out of the room and the viewers aren't shown what was in the room. For the scenes where the main character is running away   we will edit the shots together quickly and so that the shots are around half a second in length, this will make it appear frantic and emphasise the panic of the situation. After running away he gets lost and then finds himself back at room 101, we will use things like canted angles and eerie music to connote that something strange is going on.

Then we had an idea to have a scene where a point of view shot is used to show that the character is being watched, this would be done by using a handheld camera and to make it appear to be following him. The next shot shows that he hears a noise and looks around, the POV shot is shown to hide around a corner as he looks around. An eyeline match is then used to show that he cant see anything there. A medium shot could be used to show him as he walks over to where he heard the noise, which then moves in an arc to show his face as he looks around the corner. The music in the background will be gradually building up at this point. As he looks around the corner the music suddenly stops and the camera zooms into his face to show his expression of fear. The viewers are left asking what he has seen as the opening sequence ends.
