Storyboard and Shooting

This is our storyboard of the six main shots that we want to feature in our opening for a psychological thriller.


1) An image of Andrew Mathews' face. Camera techniques used are tracking camera movements from extreme close up to an establishing shot of his whole body. The music will be continuous throughout and no FX sound effects so the narrative appeared realistic. We used tracks and a tripod to create this effect. The shape of the blinds is a triangle which fits in well with the theme about the Illuminati. The focus will become unclear and credit will be inserted.


2) An Image of Him in his room but this was changed to him outside on his laptop and he is being watched on CCTV. This is taken at a mid-shot to accentuate his character. The music remains continuous throughout and very little use of FX. The editing used will be cutting and short takes to create a fast paced sequence.

3) A monitor screen capturing this shot of him on his laptop, this is taken at a high angle shot. And the room we used to display the video was in one of the reception offices. This scene is a very important scene because this is the where Mathews is being watch and the idea of paranoia is introduced. The effectiveness of this shot is that it will be film in a room where he is already being filmed from outdoors; this creates a more terrifying feel.

4) Is a transition of many objects found among school such as CCTV camera's, triangular shapes and etc to emphasize how the Illuminati is in the mist of the school in some sort of way. These will be very short cuts also so that the narrative appears more quicker.


5) The fifth caption is of one of the students drawing a triangle. This is also taken from a high angle shot and creates an illusion of the Illuminati and government being associated with schools. With the editing software imovie we will change the pace to make it faster and also so that it matches the speed of the rest of the sequences.


6) We return to Andrew Mathews, who becomes very paranoid and decides to pack his bags as he suspects that someone is watching him. This shot is now taken from two different angles and both of which are in a mid-shot view. This creates an effect that looks as if he is being watched from many angles.
