Group storyboard (Miss Georgiou)

Group Storyboards

This storyboard shows us what will be happening in the first scene and all the camera shots and effects we will be using. In frame one, we have shown the stalker wearing all black, sitting at a desk. Using the colour black is conventional to a thriller because it represents death and dullness. We will be using low key lighting to make the first part of our scene effective. This is conventional because it keeps the audience in suspense when the lighting is low to make them aware of danger. In the second frame we will be showing the stalker writing in his diary about how he is going to hunt the girl down and try kidnapping her. The camera shots we will be using will be an over the shoulder view so you get a clear view of everything the stalker is writing.
In frame 3 the stalker is burning the picture of the victim so emphasize how that's the girl he is going to stalk. The camera shot we will use here will be a mid shot. In the forth frame the stalker is holding a knife and he is going to cut himself to show the audience how crazy he is and to build tension. Throughout all these frames and the first scene we will be using low key lighting so it has a greater affect on the audience.
The iconography we will be using in our first scene will be a knife for the stalker to cut himself, a picture of the victim for the stalker to set on fire and matches to light the picture. These iconography's are all conventional to a thriller because for example a knife and setting fire to picture is very dangerous and it helps keep the audience in suspense.
 

In the second storyboard it shows us what is going on in the second scene of our thriller opening. The 5th frame is showing us the innocent victim tied up in a small dark room and not knowing where she is. This is conventional to a thriller because the dark room creates low key lighting and low key lighting keeps the audience on edge and makes the scenes look more scary and effective. The camera shot we will be using will be a low angle to focus more on the victims facial expressions and the iconography we will be using will be a rope to tie the victim up and duck tape to keep her mouth closed.

In frame 6 we will change the camera shot to the point of view angle to show what the victim looks like from the stalkers prospective when he is walking towards her. There will be low-key lighting again in this frame and the iconography we will be using is the same as the frame before, duck tape and a rope.

Frame 7 doesn't show much, but it shows the victim looking directly in to the camera so the effect we can use here is zooming in to the victims eye to show a flash back of how she ended up where she is.

Low-key lighting is used throughout.

 

The third storyboard is showing the third scene which is the flashback to show how the victim ended up captured and tied up.

In frame 9 we will be using a low angle to show the girls feet walking. The location we will be using in this frame is on the street seeing at the girl is walking to her friends house. The iconography we will use is a pair of shoes on the victim and a pair of boots on the stalker to show he is following her. This will be to build up tension in the audience. In this scene we will be using fairly high key lighting to make it look natural but to show its a flash back.

In frame 10 we will be showing the victim walking up towards her friends house, showing her full body then we focus on how the girl presses her friends doorbell. The camera shot we will be using will be a mid shot so we can focus more on the hand and the bell.

Frame 11 is showing us the victim entering her friends house to pick up some books. The camera shot we will be using here will be over the shoulder shot to show the conversation and how each girl looks from the other girls point of view. The lighting here we will use will be high key lighting again because the victim is in the house.

Frame 12 is showing the victim receiving the text message from her stalker. The iconography we will be using will be a telephone and the lighting will be high key but not as bright as it has been in the frames before, this is to symbolise how something bad is about to happen. The camera shot we will use will be birds eye view but over the shoulder to show how the victim can see the text.

The final storyboard is summarising the final scene of our thriller opening.

Frame 13 is showing the victim walking back home whilst she is unaware of the stalker following. the camera shot we will use in this frame is a far angle to show the girl walking and the stalker behind her. The location we will be using will be an ally way for the girl to walk through which leads into a forest. Here we will use low key lighting to make the scene look dark and make the audience feel more scared.
In frame 14 we show the girl seeing the stalker and start running away from him The camera shot we will be using would be hand held to make that part of the scene seem more chaotic and quick. This would have more of an effect on  the audience because it helps them feel uncomfortable like the victim is at that moment.
Finally in the last frame of this scene we will show the victim hiding away from the stalker behind the tree, The iconography we will be using will be a phone for the victim to call her friend on and the location would still be in the forest. Here we will use low key lighting and make it look very dark to make it conventional to a thriller. The camera shot we will use will be zooming in to the victim and we end by the stalker grabbing the girl.
