Story board

To speed up filming, we have created a storyboard and included the type of camera shots we want to use for each scene. I have taken inspiration from my research and existing product research to see what shots look best in what lighting and setting.

We have included a range of shots such as trunk shots, close ups and high angle shots etc. to make sure the trailer isn't boring for the audience as this will put them off watching the full film.  We have produced the storyboard  in the order of which we will film, not narrative order as it will make sure our actors won't have to keep changing hair, makeup and costume to film. This is practical as it will speed up the filming process. 

In my opinion, one of the most effective shots we have included in our storyboard is the shot I suggested to use which is a long shot of Elliot carrying a box in the house past Maddie when she says ''do you need any help?''. When editing, I want to depth of focus the shot so the audience are concentrating on Elliot to show his masculinity and show the male role in the relationship. Also, when I was researching camera shots, I thought about including a close up of Maddie's facial expressions during the home invasion to show her fear. I suggested my idea to the group and we decided on a close up shot of her screaming during the home invasion to show her fear and vulnerability which will frighten the audience and make them wonder what she is screaming at. Finally, I also like the extreme close up of one of the antagonists at the end of the trailer which will be used as a 'sting'. When I was researching stings I found that they tend to be close ups and extreme closeups so I suggested this to my group as the final shot and they liked the idea as we want to leave the audience remembering the trailer to create word of mouth.
