MAKING A STORY BOARD

As a production group, we collectively dived up the final narrative outline between ourselves and drew up individual story boards. 

Here are the points that I used to create my story board: 

• Shot opens with a girl struggling, hysterically crawling on the floor trying to get away from two men standing behind her (camera at floor level with the girl so their faces aren't shown)  

• The girl then gets her throat cut, drops to the ground, revealing two men standing behind her. 

• One man drops down to examine her and takes an object from her, either a dog tag or some sort of object that identifies the girl and expresses the magnitude of this hunt. 

• The man puts the object in his pocket, clearing a ‘trophy’ of some sort that he is collecting to delude idea that she is merely another ‘kill’.  

• The two men have a brief conversation regarding one more girl being left to kill, “one more to go”. Perhaps they tally up their kill counts, laughing about it?

Here are photos to show the development of my story boarding process: 

Here you can see me writing up the detailed outline of the shot: 

- shot number 

- location 

- action 

-shot/movement

-sound 

-lighting

-transition

-timing 

During the process, I compensated for my drawing ability through the detailed description of shot outline which will be extremely useful when we come to shooting our opening sequence.
