Story Board

This is the strory board of our two minute opening scene. The story board give us a general idea of what the film is about. It also allows us to play around with different kind of shots for our actual film.

The first picture shows how we will begin the film, a close up of someones feet that will create an air of mystery around what is happening and hopefully have the desired effect of unsettling the audience.

This second picture is a long shot which reveals who the mystery person was and shows that he is a student who goes to school. By taking the picture from behind and through a bush it gives the feeling that someone or something is watching him.

This is a medium shot picture and shows the character entering the classroom which he has detention in. The sign on the door suggest that the room might be dangerous or contain dangerous substances in there. By having the same character in the first three shots shows that he is the main character.

The fourth picture is a high anlge, over the shoulder shot which gives a good view of what is happening. By the characters body language it shows that he looks bored and would rather be somewhere else. It also shows that he is on his own with no friends around him.

This is when we become aware that he is in detention as we now have the teacher in shot telling him what work he needs to go through. At this point it would still be unclear to the audience that it is a horror and would allow to settle into a false sense of secruity.

This is a low angle/over the shoulder shot that reinforces to the audience that he is bored and looking at the clock to see if he will be able to leave without his mum knowing that he was in detention.

This is a long shot of the teacher leaving the room and trusting him to get on with the work. It suggest to the audience that he may get up to mischief or even leave once the teacher is out of sight

This shot shows the teacher gone and the door slammed shut leaving him alone

This is a medium shot and shows the whole character and what he is up to. As you can see he is trying to escape detention to get home quick.

The close up shot shows the character struggling to open the door and realising that it is locked from the outside giving him no chance of being able to leave the room.

This shot represents the lights going off in the classroom. Before the lights turn off they start to flicker which adds an eery effect and unsettles the audience

This is a medium and POV shot just after the lights come back on. In the actuall film there will be a message on the board in either red pen or blood that is for the main character.

This is the final shot at a high angle shot almost like a secruity camera. It shows the killer behind the main character and maybe suggest the killer has been hiding in the room all along.
