Individual Storyboard - Miss Miller

The purpose of a storyboard is to pre visualise the video or motion picture that you have in mind. It is very useful as it gives us an insight to a story and a pre plan that we can then visualise when it comes to filming.

My individual narrative is set in a suburban neighbour hood which links into Todorov's theory of the equilibrium adding the element of the unexpected later into the scene. Chelsea who is played by Leandra is situated in her room where she is home alone. The scene begins as she is laying on her bed listening to music like a typical teenage student. She suddenly receive a text from an unknown contact who writes the following 'i am watching you' . Chelsea is immediately anxious and keen to figure out what trickery is this. Naive and alone chelsea decides to shut the curtains, only to notice a man tall in black awaiting her reaction across the street beneath be forest. Looking away she then looks closely to reassure  herself that its all a simple trick of the mind. 

That following night Chelsea goes for a walk within the forest only to find a shrine of her near a tree. She calls her friend Harley in a panic. Murmuring down the phone she trips and then gets dragged along the floor and knocked out. Chelsea finds her self in a basement struggling to breathe and tied up trying to solve the mystery behind her kidnapping. The obsessive villain then unmask her only to find that she knew him all along. It was her ex-boyfriend!

The iconography that i will use are basic every day items such as mobile phones, ipod,rope,pictures and candles. This is all relates back to the equilibrium which will be beneficial in making the audience think that its a typical film clip that then turns in to a horrific thriller adding in the element of suspense and surprise.I want to engage the audience by adding elements of on screen sound that relate to the character and leave them in a tense atmosphere, which makes them more vulnerable to loud sounds and jumpy scenes. Costume and hair  for Chelsea would be an average teenage girls clothes with soft colours to represent innocence's within the clip , but the villains clothing are darker and shapeless. He will have several scars that will represent his past life as a killer. 
I will use a variety of camera shots such as close ups and panning shots to emphasis what is going on and what the character is feeling specifically which is portrayed through facial expressions and body language. Lighting will be very low key at times however when an important action is about to take place in the clip, the brighter the light the higher pitch the sound.

  1. You need to provide an analysis of your storyboard for your group narrative, and explain how you wish to portray the narrative through editing, cinematography, sound etc.
