Story board for opening sequenceTom Astle, Jacob Seston, Grady Wing and Conner Garrett

Story boardsStory boards are used by directors to give them a brief outline of how the scene should be filmed. It gives a picture of the shot, and a brief description next to it.We thought it would be a good idea to make one so that we could use it as a rough guide. We got together and drew out the scenes, and put them into this PowerPoint.To the right is an example of a typical story board.On the following slides is our story board, we used power point so that we could display our ideas clearly. Unfortunately, none of us were very good at drawing, as you will soon see.

SHOT ONEThis is an establishing shot, to establish the setting, and other factors. This will be shot from a field just outside of the woods so we can get a good view of them. We may also use a time lapse to show the concept of time passing so we could see the clouds moving over the woods. This would also act as a title sequence along with some other shots, as credits fade in and out over it to show who was involved in the production of the clip.

SHOT TWOThe second shot (or series of shots) would be different shots of the woods and the trees, with the camera panning to show the different angles of the woods. This would continue to act as the title sequence and establishing the scene.

SHOT THREEThis shot introduces Grady into the scene. With an extreme close up of his feet, and possibly the feet of the dog he is walking, hence his reason for being in the woods. The camera would be a feet level and move with Grady's feet to follow the match on action rule.

SHOT FOURThis shot moves from the third shot so that we can focus on Grady’s face as to introduce his appearance to the viewer. He has his headphones in whilst he is walking his dog to show he is un-aware to his surroundings and what might be about to happen.

SHOT FIVEThis shot, shows someone watching Grady walk his dog from behind a tree, hidden in the dark. This introduces him as the antagonist, as he will be wearing black clothes to represent evil.

SHOT SIXThis shot (possibly the worst drawing in history) shows that Grady is starting to think someone is watching him after hearing a noise. He then looks in the direction were the antagonist was, we would have minimal cuts during this part as to build suspense.

SHOT SEVENThis shot shows that the antagonist begins to follow Grady, although this may not be the exact shot we use, as I think we could build more suspense by using over the shoulder and point of view shots.

SHOT EIGHTThis shot (yet again a bad drawing) shows the shot when Grady realises he is being followed. Again we may not use this exact shot, as this is just a rough guide to use when we are filming. This is a close up of the antagonist before the chase scene starts.

SHOT NINEThis shot represents the chase scene, we would have more that just this single shot in the final clip. This is a possibility of a mid shot showing both of the characters on screen and shows they are engaged in a chase.

SHOT TENThis shot is the end of the clip. Grady trips and falls in to a patch of light, to represent he is innocent and the protagonist, this is a POV shot from the antagonist POV.
