Picture Storyboard

Our group decided that we wanted to develop our rough storyboard further. We decided as a group that we wanted to create a powerpoint presentation with some images that we have taken that outline the basic story and show all of the different shots that we want to take. We then explained the different shots and what will happen on each of these. This makes it clear to us when we come to film the actual film. The photographic storyboard can be viewed on the group blog.http://cvhs-jall.blogspot.com/2009/11/this-presentation-is-alternative-to-our.html

Here are some of the images we used.

This is the first establishing shot. It shows the audience what is happening clearly and then enables them to have an understanding of what is going on. It will be of a park however it will have some forensic equipment located on the site in order to show to the audience that a murder has taken place. This links in with the last shot and shows to the audience that it all makes sense when put together.

The next shot will be of the staff room with nurses who work within the asylum which is what our film is based around. The wide-shot will let the audience be aware of where the next shot is as have a rough idea as to what is going to happen in the scene.

The next shot will be of confidential documents within the asylum saying danger across the front of them. It will be a close up to highlight the danger of the documents and create tension within the audience. We decided to use this close up in order to make it very clear to the audience what is going on so that they do not get confused.

The next shot will be a mid-shot of a couple arguing. The audience is able to see the expressions upon the characters faces and have an understanding of what emotions that they are going through. The mid-shot also enables the audience to see the surroundings that the two characters are in and are then consequently able to see what could potentially happen.

The next shot is a low angle close up of a male characters feet running through a forest area. It is a low angle close up to highlight the significance and importance of this character, but still doing it subtly so that it is not completly obvious but has some signigicance.

The shot after the previous shot is one of the female character sittng alone on a swing in the park. The shot is a mid-shot so that the audience can see all of the surroundings and the characters. The shot will be seen through the trees and bushes to increase the tension and suspicion within the audience.

After the last shot another shot of the swing will be shown however this time it will be a close up showing a male character putting their hand on the shoulder of the female character who is sitting on the swing. The close up will show to the audience in even greater detail as to what is occuring and the audience will be able to see exactly what is happening.

The final shot will be a long shot of the swing however this time there will be no characters or life about. The long shot will give the audience a very wide view and will consequently be able to see all of the scene and be able to take everything in and make their own minds up as to what has happened.

However the final presentation shows much more detail of the images. A further storyboard has also been made by the group in even further detail to ensure that the storyboards are clear and easy to read.
