Main Task Story Board

Establishing shot used to show where the action is set and giving the viewer a sense of emersion in our film early on. This is going to be an extreme long shot of south park. some relaxing music is going to be played through out this and the next shot to comfort the viewer.

This shot is used to give the viewer a closer insight to the location. It also sets the scene and relaxes the viewer before the chase scene begins.

This shot is used to present a woman standing and breathing heavily. We see that she is injured and out of breath. She is going to be surrounded by trees. The relaxing music suddenly stops and and dramatic music starts to gently creep in.

Dramatic music picks up the pace and becomes more tense. The woman has noticed someone is chasing her and she starts running. Camera will be panning to follow her as she runs. 

The purpose of this scene is to show the emotions of the girl. She will be breathing heavily and she will  be crying. However she will also be looking back in this scene.

The previous scene will be followed by a shot of the writer (Connal) writing. This will be set in a dimly lit room. This will be the introduction to the character. However throughout this whole scene his face will not be shown clearly. This is going to be set in one of the classrooms in Cheney but we are going to do our best to ensure that it doesn't look like one. We are also going to be using artificial light however we are going to try and dim the light to ensure we keep that eery feeling through out this scene.

This shot is used to show what the writer is writing in much better detail. This shot will be completely quite. making it seem mysterious and awkward which is exactly what we want the viewer feeling.

This is the scene where the writer lifts his head up to think, as he does we are going to have a close up of his face. We will not be seeing his face clearly, it will be completely shadowed. This also adds to the suspense and the mystery of this character and hopefully make the audience intrigued.

This scene will be a completely change of pace compared to the office scene. This shot is specifically used to show where this scene is set, it allows the viewer to see the background and the surroundings. we use a long shot so that it portrays the whole house, the characters and the car in one shot.

This scene includes a bunch of teenage friends packing their stuff and walking over to the car which is parked outside connal's house. Some smooth and cheerful music is played in the background during this scene. We also feel that we could include a little bit of the credits on the screen too as this is happening.

This scene is of the car driving away as the camera pans with it. There will be several houses shown in the background. Upbeat music is continually playing through this scene to relax the audience and help them get much more immersed into this short film.

This shot is the final shot to end the video is a shot of the car close up then driving off eventually turning it into an extreme long shot. The car will just be continuously driving off into the distance and the clip will come to an end with a fade to black transition.

The Changes Made

We made some drastic and last minute changes to our opening scene to accommodate for some unfortunate news. Such as the fact that we lost one of our actors. She was unable to be in our opening which ignited a range of changes to the opening. Such as the addition of a different female actor. However there were some other changes that were brought around due to inconvenience and general ineffectiveness. For example, the car scene. We thought that it may be too difficult to get a driver, a car and have the whole acting and filming crew there at the same time. Another change that we thought would add to the effectiveness of our opening was the addition of the group scene. This is the scene where the characters engage in a piece of dialogue. We thought this was a crucial scene to add to help flesh out the characters and express their stereotypes. We also changed the order of certain scenes especially the establishing shot. We changed the establishing shot to give the audience a chance to get to know the villain in the film and express his personality through an inner monologue right at the start of the film. We think that the changes we made added to the overall effectiveness and enjoyment of our opening scene.
