Today we worked really hard on getting a story board together! After a lot of discussion, we did end up going with the theme discussed in the previous post. We planned out the first scene of our film opening, which will be around 45 seconds. Below is the attached storyboard our group came up with.
In the story board above, we discuss and layout what will be the first seconds of the clip. We are doing the forest scene, which will be followed by another clip of the flashback. The flashback will explain the entire story. The first part will open with an establishing shot of the forest and town, which may be filmed with a drone. We will then show a mixture of choppy, close up shots of feet being pulled and hands covered in dirt/shoveling. This will create a feeling of suspense when teamed with proper music, establishing the overall tone for the piece. We are also going to show a clip of a mixture of different shots of the girl running, with the sounds of panting and a heartbeat in the back. From here, we assume the scene will be set. We are going to go into a high shot of the girl standing there with the shovel, with the shot circling around her to see all angles and emotions. We want to cut to a face close up, to show emotions. This scene will close with a missing poster of the boy buried, leading to graphic matching of the photos to lead to the flashback. The credits will be in the scene after this, not this one because we think it will destroy the mood.
We struggled with choosing a name for the film. We want to make sure it is perfect before we commit to a title. However, this was our only struggle for the period as I think we were productive and got a lot done.
The cuts will all take place on movement. We want to set a choppy tone, with an overall sense of suspense and chaos. While this is our current plan, the angle and shots may cut or change order. However, as of right now this is what we plan on doing to create the best opening for our idea. We plan on finish the storyboard next class, and then work on perfecting it. As well, we want to begin casting for our roles. Overall, we had a successful period!
