Storyboard
noun
- a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a film or television production.
Coming up with a storyboard felt like a daunting task, yet after doing various film opening deconstructions, we managed to come up with shots we thought would be effective, as well as doable with the equipment and budget we had. We came up with the idea of perhaps having one tracking shot, and then entering various close-up shots of the room, of objects, to be able to give us an introduction to Peter's character, as well as creating enigma about the rest of the film, in particular him as a person. In this way, we thought it would be effective if you did not see his face as a whole, but rather bits, fragmented, leaving the audience to piece together parts of his character, without giving too much away.
By having diegetic sound, we thought that it would enable us to be more effective in our music choice, having something that Peter would listen to, and American band, in order to ensure we were portraying the character in the right way.
The text/typing will contain the whole letter, but focus will be on the main words - 'Don't blame yourself;', these being the only ones being still typed out, to draw the audience's attention to it.Close-ups will ideally start off unfocused and become focused to gradually reveal objects.
I also compiled an alternative storyboard, in case the tracking shot did not work, since we did not have the equipment to create the shot, we may have to use something with wheels with a Steadicam to enable us to conduct this. But, just in case we came up with an alternative, in this way if things did not turn out well on filming day we had something else to follow:
Ideally we would like to have a bird's eye view shot of Peter typing, however we thought it would be hard to could to camera still without having a shaky camera, however we would have to come up with a solution of being high enough to be able to capture the shot -but, it would be effective.
We thought that we could perhaps overlay the typing in post, if the shots on the computer did not turn out well.
