Storyboard planning

For any storyboard, everything included is very important. As part of the process of creating a storyboard, thinking about camera shots, editing techniques and all the mise-en-scene elements are a necessity. Therefore I have produced a list of all the techniques that are in my storyboard and elements that we may use in the final trailer.

Camera

Close ups - to emphasise importance (eg. the womans wedding ring)

Establishing shots - to set the scene and location (eg. to show the urban setting and the car park)

Editing

Transitions - to add a more eerie atmosphere

Reaction cuts - to add more tension and fear

Jump cuts - to move the narrative along

Mise-en-scene

Setting - the car park

Costume - the woman's black dress, the man's black suit & the black car

Lighting - low key, some natural

Performance - the woman is scared and will show her uneasyness of being alone in the car park

Make-up - the womans should be simple but prominant, we do not see man's face

Props - the car

Sound - there will be music on a soundtrack overlayed

Colour - black is a symbolic colour throughout the trailer. It conveys the overtone of darkness and evil, which is relevant to our story and the thriller genre.


As this is only a mock up of a storyboard, not all elements of it will be included in the final one. To add to this we will incorporate parts from each of our storyboards, mixing all our ideas into one.
