Storyboard

This storyboard shows the 9 key scenes in my opening to an fiction film.

1. In the first frame it is a medium shot of the family around the living room table.The camera will be located in between Susan and Stan so the audience can get a straight angle view on the floor and will be able to read the words on it. The medium shot will be used so the audience can see all the characters in the scene the props on the table and also some of the setting. The audience will then be able to see what the characters are talking about.I have chosen not to film this scene as a long shot or an establishing shot because i want the main focus to be on the characters and not the decor of the house.

There will be a close up between George and Stan and then Stan as Devon as the speak to each other, and then a close up of Susan and the board as she asks the first question.

The camera goes back into a medium shot after Susan asks the question. This is so the audience can see the look on all the characters faces and also the action on the board. The camera is focused on George as he says he knew it wouldn't work. The camera being captured onto George as he says this line is important as it foreshadows things to happen later on to George in the film.

2. As soon as George finishes his line the camera zooms out onto the whole of the table onto a high angle long shot so we can see all the characters and the letters moving on the board, it then zooms onto the letters as the last letter is being moved.

3. The camera is then goes back to a medium shot in between Susan and Stan, this is so the audience can see both Susan and Stan talking and the reaction to the family when the house phone begins to ring.

4. Tracking shot of George walking though the living room to answer the house phone.

5. Extreme close up of the screen on the house phone. This has been used so the audience can tell who is calling and the Withheld number makes the phone call more mysterious.

There is then a long shot and a shot reverse shot from the telephone table as Stan asks who that was on the phone and George replying

There is the a tracking of George as he walks back to the table.

6. There is another medium shot as George returns to the table and the lights flash off and on, this is so the audience will be able to see reaction on the character face as this happens.

7. Over the shoulder shot as George and Susan speak to each each other

8. The camera moves from Georges shoulder to in between Devon and Susan so we can see the slamming of the kitchen door and the reaction on George face as he received the text message.

9. The last frame is an zoom finishing off on a extreme close up of the message on George's phone that says "Can you let me in?"
