Individual storyboard- Miss Miller

Individual storyboard.

 

 The purpose of storyboards is to lay down the basic narrative onto paper so that the directors and producers of films have a idea of what they think the scene will be like and what shots were planned for each frame. The storyboard makes the production of a scene more efficient as the scene has already been planned so the filming process is quicker than it might have been before.

 

My storyboard contains 12 different frames with different time lengths, drawn images of what I think the narrative should be like, camera angles that will be used, location of each frame, iconography, lighting , actors, sound, editing to the next frame and also the narrative description. I have included the conventions of the thriller genre in my storyboard by highlighting the lighting and way the characters look so they are conventional to the thriller genre, for example I included dark lighting for the setting of the thriller opening sequence and that we should include a female character.

From including these conventions into my own thriller opening sequence I hope to create a suspenseful atmosphere, as the characters and the audience have relationship that the narrative can use to be suspenseful and create anticipation in the opening sequence.
 

I have done this for the purpose that my group has an idea of what my view of the opening scene is so that we all have an understand of my view of it. We will confrere as a group and put our storyboards together and use frames we like from one storyboard and leave some that we didn't agree on, this will help our scene make more sense to the audience.

 

After making my storyboard I have a better understanding of how the scene will work for the filming process and the editing process, overall the storyboard will help alot during the process of the making the scene.
