Storyboards

Storyboards

Below I have created a storyboard to be able to show visual ideas I have had for my production. From looking at the first page you will see I have included the use of close ups, over the shoulder and even a wide shot. As well as this, if you look at number six, you will see that one of the locations I will be using is a Park. The reason I have decided on this was because it seemed like a peaceful place for the two characters to meet when talking. 

When creating the storyboard, I tried to listen to the song so that I could get the timings on the different verses. The reason I have done this is so that I know what will be going on, and where I will be placing certain footage when I am in the editing process. Below you will see that I hope to get scenes 13-16 in from around 42 seconds to 1 minute. 

During these scenes I have tried to incorporate a subjective point of view shot to enable the viewer to see what the character can. Again I have also included a range of close ups but I have also tried to include a tracking shot when my female character is walking away down the driveway.

From looking at the screen shot below, you will be able to see where I have planned on including fades from the different scenes, but that I have also planned to add in some flashbacks. The reason I wanted to do this was to show that the characters were once happy, and as the song asks how to save a life, these shots could show the answer. 

Throughout the next few shots, the lighting of the scene is one of the most important things I need to look at as I will be filming as it starts to get dark and the only light source I will have will be street lights. It is here that a two shot will be used to show two of the characters in close proximity.

The last part of my production will be the main part, this is because the main focus will be on the male leads hand. For this, I want to try and match the action up to the last line of the song as it shows that the times ran out to be able to help the character.
