Story Board
The story board that my group created helps us to fully understand what we want to do in our opening sequence, this will allow us to study how our filming will occur. We have eight boxes which will explain and show through drawings what we want to do. This gave us the first step to visualize what our opening sequence would be and see the main parts we want to focus on.
The first box shows a count down so we are able to build up tension from the beginning, then the second box will show a sign which says danger and has a picture of a lighting bolt, That will be one of the images which are a flashback which connotes that he may of had a bad past and that something is haunting him still. The next picture shows the main character staring at the the fan which seems to irritate him and the next one is of knifes which are one of the main props we want in the opening sequence as it shows slit characteristics which are negative.
The fifth box shows the main character walking down the stairs to leave his house, we thought that maybe we could use match on action to shorten the length of the walking journey slightly. This could connote that he is rushing somewhere but the audience doesn't know why he is rushing or who he is running away from. The next main shot we want is of the door being opened and someone is watching him come out of his house, this will give a good effect as it will allow the audience to interpreter the shot and it will develop questions about who it is and why they are watching them. The next scene will be a dark figure watching the victim as he walks from his house this will connote that someone is after him and that he is unaware of its presence. This is a convention of the thriller genre which is someone watching someone and the dark figure will have a stereotypical appearance of an attacker with dark clothing on. The last box of the story board will have the dark figure reaching his hand towards the the victim which will be the most intense part of the opening sequence and the climax of it all, with it ending on the name of the film.
