Individual storyboard- Miss Georgiou

The purpose of story boards are to help plan and structure a sequence before filming it. The storyboard helps organise the production of the sequence and allows the angles, movements and positions of the camera to be sorted out and given reason behind the choice of each one. We have created inidvidual storyboards before creating a group one so we have a variety of ideas and choices for each single frame. This will ensure that everything we want to include in our sequence is encourparated and reasons for angles, movements and positions can be discussed within the group to ensure we have planned the best possible sequence. I hope my individual post will help when planning our group storyboard as it includes a variety of shots and angles which have reasons for them being used I'm each frame.

In my story board, I started off by using a long shot in the car park, as the couple start their argument  to show that they are the only people around, which emphesises the isolation of the characters. I have said there will be low key lighting and eerie music to make it conventional to a thriller; it creates suspense. I then used the idea of shot reverse shot as the couple's argument starts to comes to an end and they agree to go their separate ways. As the boyfriend drives away, the camera will zoom out to emphasise her standing on her own in a deserted car park. This makes the audience have sympathy for the victims character, creating a relationship between them. The isolation of the victim creates suspense making it conventional to a thriller sequence. I said silence will also be used in this frame as it will create tension and an eerie atmosphere for the audience. Over the shoulder shots will be used in several frames where the antagonist and victim are both in the frame. This demonstrates the distance between the characters; physically and mentally. Non diegetic sound will be included in the sequence, such as a heartbeat, and emphesised footsteps. The heartbeat will be used in the most dramatic parts of the sequence to emphesise the danger the victim faces. For example when the victim tries to contact someone on her phone for help but has no signal, the heartbeat will suggest the panic the victim is experiencing. A POV shot and diegetic sound of heavy breathing, will be used by the antagonist as he is following, and eventually running after the victim as she attempts to get away through the alleyways and the forest. This will build up tension and create surprise and suspense as the sequence plays, making it conventional to a thriller. A low angle shot will be encourporated at the end of the sequence as the victim has fallen over in the forest and the antagonist stands over her, emphasising the power and strength the antagonist has in contrast to the weak victim. This will create sympathy from the audience towards the victim as they anticipate what is going to happen to her I'm the dangerous situation.
