Storyboard!

To further plan my film opening, I decided to create a storyboard. A storyboard is a great tool that helps producers picture scenes in sequential order. While making the storyboard, I organized all my ideas took many aspects of production into consideration. Everything on my storyboard is subject to change; however, the basic components of my film opening have been established.

   

The film opening will begin with the title and cut into a suspenseful shot of boots walking across the screen. This creates mystery and establishes one of the main locations. The audience is then introduced the the library with an establishing shot. This is where the two main characters are shown. This is a very brief scene, and the next few shots consist of the sun setting, all the books on the table, and the car driving. The next scene is very important to the plot. The radio station is playing in the car, and the two girls are listening the the recent news report. The man on the radio is describing how a murderer is on the loose. He leaves behind clues within books by highlighting certain words. One of the girls becomes very frightened because she thinks she is being targeted. The next shots show the car on its way home, and the girl rushing to her room in a hurry. A close up shot of her eyes reveals her fear, and immediately cuts to a close up of the murderer's eyes in the same context. My film opening will allude to conflict, establish the locations, and introduce the main characters.
