Starts with the "evil" friend (Jess) creating a poison in either a science lab or a basement (the camera will be a close up worms eye of Jess creating the poison), we then see her walking away (there are various shorts we will use during this scene, eg, tracking, birds eye and worms eye). It then cuts to a group of friends (group of three or four), they are chatting amongst themselves. (the shot used will be looking from the door in the living room, looking to the end of the room)
The camera then cuts to a behind shot of Jess over the work surfaces in the kitchen making cups of tea, during this she puts the poison into one of the cups (the camera is a worms eye shot on the surface of the hand pouring in the poison) and then puts in cups onto a tray and walks down the hall, (a tracking shot will be used from the front door, see below, following her into the living room) then the camera will change to a birds eye of the mugs being taken. The opening then ends.

Storyboard
Well done for posting some elements of planning onto your blog. When you take stills could you use a variety of camera angles and movement and also experiment with lighting. Think specifically about extreme close ups, tilt shots, low, high angle and point of view shots. Your location looks too ordinary at the moment so more experimentation please.
ReplyDeleteYou need to think briefly of a MOTIVE for the crime.
Also post costume designs, more detailed story boards to include lighting and colour (if possible) and stills of other location you may be using, props and so on. You also need to evaluate your planning by identifying specific thriller films or crime dramas that have inspired your ideas.
Planning looks good but still more to go onto your blog.
