My Initial Ideas Storyboard


Here shows the first 6 main parts to my films opening sequence:
  • Number one is a long shot of a man running down a corridor and then it goes into a medium shot as he is closer to the camera once he is hiding around the corner.
  • He then looks around the corner to check behind him, showing that he was running from something following him, not just running from a situation. As we can see in the second frame the man is holding a weird looking gun and this is a hint of all the small elements that relate to the fantasy side to this film (much like men in black with all of the futuristic equipment in a not so futuristic looking time).
  • He then quickly turns back to hide around the corner once he heard noises, still within this medium shot. And still in this frame we can see that at the end of the corridor a man or woman (I have not decided which yet) has fallen over as they have been injured in some way (also not decided how just yet). The man who is hiding does not know this has happened yet.
  • It then cuts to a close up of the man hiding around the corridor, his expression will show his being torn between going and helping the person who is being shouted at who is in obvious danger and potentially hurt (as he assumes from the noises he heard).
  • He then looks around the corner to see what has happened - still in a medium shot to showing the man hiding and the person lying at the end of the corridor. In this shot he then sees the person has fallen on the floor...probably dead as the are not moving.
  • It then goes to a reverse medium shot (could probably be close up however in order to see the mans expression better) so the viewer can see the mans expression as he looks around the corner to find a probably dead person at the end of the corridor.
  • The shot then cuts back to the previous one showing the man in a medium shot - he has turned around in fear (a close up could come after this showing his fear much more closely and obviously to the audience. 
  • He then heard that the person who is dead has been dragged away and the voices grow quiet, so he makes a run for it in a panic. 
  • As he goes to the end of the corridor we cut to close/medium shot and long shot behind the pervious man and then pans out to the side to show a new character in a long shot - presenting him as being the character with the most power and authority at that moment. 
  • It then cuts to being a close up (maybe over the shoulder shot to keep continuity) on the evil characters face showing his evil grin and then a close up (maybe over the shoulder shot to maintain continuity) of the previous mans face, where he will say something funny - he has been caught but it is a film with comedy elements so it is then introduced quite soon and in a bizarre situation so it is unconventional and unexpected, which therefore increases the level of humour.
