Storyboard and shots list

As our filming slot approaches, having a storyboard to demonstrate our ideas clearly in stages is essential as part of our production planning. This will help us to see clearly how our footage should hopefully look like, which will therefore help us to organise our shots more efficiently during the process. Below is a storyboard that i made, which i scanned in with descriptions of the specific shots below each storyboard.

1. Shot opens with male walking down path in graveyard, (panning shot moving up the body from the feet), turns left down path.

2. Male character mourns at grave-stone. Finds letter, reads it, looks around, screws it up into coat pocket.(Medium shot.)

3.Female character (girlfriend) is seen approaching in the background. (Over the shoulder shot), comforts male (boyfriend).

4. Both characters, walk away from grave-stone, say bye to eachother, exit in opposite directions.(Panning shot)

5.Female character is seen walking alone down path.(Medium shot.)

6. Shot from behind a grave-stone, (shaky camera) as if a home video camera. Shot follows females movements along path - (shot meant to convey the idea of the girl being spyed on.)

7. (Over the shoulder shot), focus and close-up of letter as the female character reads it.

8. (Close-up shot) from below looking up at the girl's face from behind the piece of paper. Face slowly merges into the 'dead' girl's face.

9. Screen goes black. Title of thriller appears in white font against the black background. T.V fuzzing merges in and out and cuts off.

10. Girl wakes up in blacked out room, confused and looking around. Smoke all around her. (Medium shot.)

11. (Panning shot) Girl crawls up the the screen which is revealed in the corner of the room. T.V screen is fuzzing and a piece of paper is shown on the screen.

12.(Close-up shot) T.V with piece of paper stuck onto it which happens to be the same letter which appeared earlier in the sequence. Shot zooms out slowly and screen goes black. The End.
