Individual Storyboard - Miss Miller

The purpose of making a story board was to plan out our narrative, and plan out each of the elements used in each of the scenes. This means when it comes to filming our opening sequence we know what we're going to film, and exactly what effect and sound tracks we are going to use in each scene. On each story board we included the camera shot, location, lighting, actors, sound, editing, and the narrative.

In the initial four scenes I have made it so that the initial scene is set, so that the viewer gets the idea of what is going on, using long shots to get a feel of where the sequence is set, and can see that the victim is alone. It then goes onto show that she is being followed by someone who has the intention to hurt her from the fact that they have a hammer, this begins to build up the suspense, I have also used close ups for the viewer to begin to build a relationship with the victim, seeing her emotions and seeing the fear, making the viewer emphasise with her, for the same reasons I have included a lot of POV camera angles, as well as handhelds.

On the second sheet, this is when the chase really begins, again using a lot of POV, handhelds and mid shots, this restricts the viewer's sight of the setting, meaning they ca only really see as much as the character can, involving the viewer in the sequence, which can let them feel the fear of the character. Keeping the same soundtrack on, building up towards the end of the sequence.

On the third sheet, this is the ending of the sequence, after the victim has fallen the scene falls into silence as she tries to hide, showing the emotions on her face, again the viewers emphasise and really feel her fear, knowing that she is going to get caught now that she is hurt, and that they are just waiting for the moment, still shocked when she is going to get caught. The sequence then ends on a cliff hanger as you don't know that  happens to her.
