STORYBOARD







































1. The first shot is called an establishing shot. This is used at the start of many films, this was one of the reasons why I decided to put these at the beginning of my film opening. Establishing shot's also give viewers a clear idea of where the following scene would be filmed in. It allows audiences understand what genre the film could lead into for example: if the establishing shot was of a city this could suggest a lively action film, or a crime film.

2. The second shot is cut to the detective sitting at the bar. A voice over is placed over this scene to build up a story line. Audiences are informed on the emotions of the character and a background on his life. After receiving his drink and processes his surroundings he spots them femme fatale.

3. In the third shot the femme fatale has approached the detective and there is a close up. This shows audiences the details in the face and the emotion behind it. The femme fatale look worried, anxious she has come over to the detective to express how she is distressed.

4/5. To build up the dialogue in the scene. Shot reverse shot's are usually placed to show a conversation between two people, so putting these shots hear felt appropriate for the scene.

6. In the sixth shot is begins in a new setting. This is in a office, firstly it begins focusing on the telephone then panning out to show the rest of the room. Props will be set up in this shot to reveal elements of the character. For example: an ashtray will be placed next to the camera to live up that stereotype that detectives smoke. Other props will be used to show off his career, these include: pens, notepads, desk light, documents and so on.

7. In the seventh shot the whole of the desk and man is captured in the frame, he is sat relaxed at his desk looking miserable. This conveys that he is tired of the same routine everyday and no longer wants to be in the career.

8. (There is a knock on the door) In the eighth shot 'the princess' who works as a receptionist for the detective walks into the room, a long shot is place to show the whole room.

9. There is a close-up of the detective as he looks up to see who has just entered his room. When he see's who it is he address her with 'hello little one' these has been deliberately put into the scene to show he a dominant character and can talk to people how he pleases.

10. In the tenth shot there is a close up of the receptionist, this is because she is talking about something she is worried about so usually a close-up would be the best way to represent this as you're able to see the emotion in her face.

11. In the eleventh shot there is a close-up of the newspaper that the receptionist put down, the close-up shows what the headline reads. The headline is the enigma of the story it hooks people to watch the rest of the film

12. The twelfth shot was kept very simple with just a close-up of the detectives face looking at the newspaper and being shocked. After a fade to black is placed and the title sequence appears.
