Storyboarding

One of the key aspects of Film-making is the ability to follow and interpret storyboards.

These help you to understand the Director's intentions as a camera operator (where to place the camera), as a Cinematographer (looking at lighting sources etc) and as a basic way of understanding what locations and shots are needed to get the desired effect.

This storyboard is one of our final ideas before we decided to cut the sequence down. It begins with the killer driving, with muffled screams, signifying to the audience that the driver is evil and has kidnapped someone. It then shows shots of various people being totrured in different ways (in cells etc).

In the second story board a mad man is shown banging on the door, in a cell. It then shows different cuts of him running through corridors and up stairs.

A car then pulls up at Ewhurst. It then goes to a cut of a man running up the ewhurst stairs and going to a girl who is tied up, he ripes off the tape around her mouth and takes her to a sign that reads 'mental illness home'. The audience then discover that the man is mentally ill. He then escapes from the home and shouts "you're not crazy now, but you will be". He then runs outside and jumps off the roof.

We cut this idea down because we needed much more screen time then we were given.
