Our Storyboard

This is our storyboard:
In this image we show the first 8 shots of our thriller opening. It narrates the start of the scene. It starts as a black out and fades into a shot of the bat, the weapon of choice, we have chosen to use this shot because it outlines to the audience the weapon that the woman has chosen as well as building tension because in that moment you wouldn't know what was going on- who was using the bat or what for. During the decision making process we decided to add in the shot of the woman sitting on the sofa, she is going to be muttering to herself, almost as reassurance that what she is doing it right. We chose this because we wanted to indicate early on that she has a mental illness, and she sees this as justification for her crimes. Another shot we added in was the shot of the mistress' eyes, we did this ultimately to show her fear and indicate that she is being held against her will for something she is unaware that she has done wrong. 

This image shows the next 8 shots within our scene. It shows the women, moving around and it from her perspective almost as though we want the audience to understand what is going on and why she is doing what she is doing. These ones are ultimately a lot longer than the ones in the previous image because it includes the bulk of our thriller. 2 of our shots equate to 10 seconds each. The first being the second shot on the image. It will show a high angle shot of the women walking slowly towards the front of the screen, to stand in front of her victims. There is also a shot of the women knocking the light with her bat, we decided to add this to show her dominance in the situation. As well as this it will add tension to the scene. We have also decided to have an close up of the  husband and wife together, we are going to use this shot to firstly show them together, indicating that they are married. It also hows her anger towards him as she will get up in his face and call him a 'cheating bastard'.

These were the final 8 shots of our thriller opening. These are our shots that build the tension within our thriller. The soundtrack that we will use within these scenes will mirror this. We have decided to do the fourth shot from the perspective of the mistress and the black screen straight after will be as though she has closed her eyes. The sound will stop here and we'll wait a few seconds before inserting a scream. The next shot will be as though someone has opened their eyes. The setting would've changed to an office setting where we see his computer screen. This would be the beginning of the rest of the film and after that we will put the title page of our film, 'Them'.
