Group storyboard
The purpose of a group storyboard is to make sure your whole sequence has been clearly planned and thought out. We first looked at each others individual storyboards because we wanted to see what ideas everyone else had come up with. We then picked out different ideas which were best and then included them into our group storyboard. By doing this we made our storyboard better because it now includes the best ideas from everyone's individual storyboards.
In this storyboard we start off with a fully black screen. There is a news report as background sound talking about an abduction that has taken place in the Theydon Bois area. The darkness then fades and we are shown a normal living room. This scene has natural lighting and there are two girls sitting on the sofa in front of the camera. As the camera slowly zooms in we start to see a reflection of a dark figure standing in the corner of the window. This story board is based around Ella's idea. Ella wanted to show the audience the antagonist straight away to try and build a relationship with the audience and the characters early on in the sequence. This idea will also keep the audience on the edge of their seats because the audience will want to know who the antagonist is and what he wants with the two girls.
Group storyboard Part 2
In this storyboard we see the two girls leave the house for the first time in the sequence. Although there is a change in location, the lighting will be the same because there will still be day time light. The camera then changes to show the antagonist crossing off names in a dark room. We see him burning pictures of characters within our film. This storyboard was based around ideas from Hannah's storyboard. Hannah wanted to show the element of mystery to really emphasis that our film was of the thriller genre. This is clear from the dark lighting and threatening actions. The fames burning the pictures show that the antagonist is planning out how he can harm the victims in the pictures.
Group storyboard 3
Storyboard 3 had four different scenes within it. It started by showing two girls walking towards a dense forest. The second scene then flashes back to a picture (slowly burning) of one of the girls. This scene has low-key lighting and a mid-shot camera angle was used to shoot it. The third scene is a long shot of an isolated forest whilst the camera is focusing on a tree. Again this scene used low-key lighting to achieve the image of tension. In this scene eerie, diegetic music was being played in the background. The forth and final scene showed the image of one of the girls in the centre of a circle of flames, giving the impression that the girl had been targeted by the antagonist. There is high key lighting in this scene, due to the flames and a fade out shot was used to close the scene.
Storyboard 4
Storyboard 4 was thought of as a group. We came up with new ideas for our lighting, sound effects and editing. We tried to really emphasis the thriller element in these two scenes so that we could engage the audience as much as possible. We had the idea of having the girls wondering around the forest because this made them look more venerable and helpless. The scene then changed quickly to show the antagonist setting pictures of the girls on fire. This scene is used to show that the killer will stop at nothing to get the girls which in turn makes the audience feel closer to the two girls because they are about to become in danger.
Group storyboard Part 5
In this final Storyboard, the first scene shows a panning shot of the forest. There is natural lighting in this scene with slow-paced, eerie music being played in the background. We then notice a shadow appearing just as the scene is ending. In the next scene we are shown a close up of an outline of the antagonists head. No face can be seen clearly to identify who it is, as the face has been covered by a mask. The camera angle used for this scene is an extreme close-up. The third scene shows a collection of eyes staring towards the camera. This scene is used to build tension on the audience to engage them into the scene. The forth and final scene of the opening sequence is a fade-out shot of a forest with the sound of echoes of screams. This creates a sense of mystery with the audience because they want to find out who the screams belong to - creating intrigue and mystery.

INCOMPLETE!
ReplyDeleteYou have provided a minimal analysis of your group’s storyboard, explaining some of what your sequence will consist of and how you hope the audience will react to it.
You need to:
1) Pick three specific examples of micro-elements used from each group member’s individual storyboard in the sequence that you feel are the most significant - do a detailed PEER analysis of these
2) Say what thrillers you, as a group, have taken inspirations from and why - where is this evident in your storyboard?
3) Elaborate on everything
4) Picture of storyboard
You have mentioned where some of the storyboard was taken from in regards to group members, and analysed them to an extent; however, you need to explain how the audience are able to build a relationship as a result of elements used, and how they are conventional of the genre. You also need to mention what films you took inspirations from
