Storyboard

Planning: Storyboard

As a group, we have come up with a storyboard for the opening sequence of our Crime Thriller film. Based on our brainstorm and initial ideas, we have decided to stick to some of the typical Thriller conventions however we decided not to stick to the cliche ones, for example, ghosts, a murder, masks etc. We decided to stick with some of the typical Thriller conventions because we had to think of our audience and what they would be expecting to see. If we did not follow some of the typical conventions, it would not be appealing to an audience.

Protagonist: female, young, vulnerable, teenage student
Antagonist: unknown to the audience in the opening sequence, as a group we have decided the antagonist to be another female student
We have decided that the gender should be kept a secret from the audience because we want to leave a sense of ambiguity.

Drawing up a storyboard helped myself and my group to give us insight of what our opening sequence may look like. An advantage of drawing up a storyboard before we start filming is that we are able to change and rearrange some shots if necessary. Having the ability to be able to change shots around means that as a group we are less likely to make mistakes when we have to start preparing filming our final product. Creating a storyboard also highlighted what we needed to include or what we had too much of. In conclusion I think that storyboarding has had a positive outcome in my group as we can now start to move forward and think about other contributing factors that will help us to plan what we are going to film for our final product.
