Storyboard

Throughout making our film trailer we went through loads of different storyboards and different film ideas. Below is the final storyboards which Isaac drew up and wrote the directions onto.The last storyboard was B-Roll ideas which I was thinking about.

(From left to right):

1. Introduction Company Logos: 

'Vector Productions' - our own, fictional company, reinforcing how this is an independent film 

'Lionsgate' - a more popular, profitable independent company, known for producing good films.

'Marv Films' - known for releasing high standard films (including thrillers such as 'Kingsman').

2. A car pulls into frame on a farm. It is bright, daytime.

Off-screen dialogue of two people discussing the arrest of an infamous serial killer. J-Cut. Close up.

3. Two students discuss filming at an abandoned hideout of the serial killer. Two shot, medium shot.

4. Steve stands outside of the barn waiting for Max. He holds his phone, looking at the time. Wide shot.

Steve's character is isolated on the right hand side of the frame.

5. Close up shot, zoom out to mid shot. Steve stares through opening of barn door but is scared away by something inside.

6. Wide shot - Silhouetted murderer opens barn doors. Time has clearly passed, since it is late afternoon outside.

7. Close up of murderer's legs. The murderer slowly approaches his victim, Max. He walks slowly, but purposefully. Camera tracks his movements.

8. POV - The murderer comes towards Max, punching him in the face and sending him collapsing to the ground.

9. POV - Max is being dragged away by the murderer. He reaches for a metal pole. The murderer realises this, drops him, and turns to face Max.

1. POV - the murderer leans close towards Max. His face is smeared with blood, inferring the torture Max has supposedly endured. Cut to black.

(From left to right):
1. Close up of a wheel of an abandoned bicycle. In the background, somebody is sprinting away, having just dropped the bike. Deep focus. Camera pans upwards. Afternoon.
2. A man steps into frame from the left. His stance is aggressive and firm. Between his legs stands opposite him his opponent, hooded and also prepared for combat.
Static medium deep focus shot.
3. A missing poster of Max's disappearance lies face up in a puddle. A passing pedestrian walks through the puddle, sinking the poster further into the water. High angle shot.
4. Someone lights police documents with a cigarette lighter to remove evidence. Close up shot.
5. High angle, medium shot of lines of drugs on the table.
6. The word 'Decorum' is ominously seen on a wall, written in blood. (Could be at crime scene?)
7. Close up of a person's face.
