Storyboard

After discussing our initial ideas we begun the process of constructing a storyboard for our film trailer. Before building a story board it was imperative that we looked at other film trailers to get an idea of the layout of a film trailer what to include and what to not include. Our drawings will give us an idea of what shots we need to include in our trailer and create a clear format and structure to stick by. On the day of filming we will however film numerous other shots with different angles this is due to the fact that our trailer is intense and at a fast pace to create tension. 

After reviewing several film trailers we understood that every film trailer has a movie preview screen, therefore to make our film trailer look professional and realistic we decided it would be a good idea to use the same concept and begun looking into what production company we could use as our preview screen. After researching more into preview screens in film trailers we understood that the usual duration was for around 5-6 seconds. After this was completed the preview screen would fade out to our first shot of the happy couple holding hands to convey to the audience an idea of what is going to happen. 

The first several shots are relatively slower paced however the last few shots begin to create tension with the anchoring of the fast paced background non-diagetic sound and tone of voice with dialogue. 

Tension begins to build the pace becomes faster the transition of light to dark is apparent. As the abandoned house scenes begin the action commences with fast paced short shots. Title screens need to be included however as a group we need to decide where we are going to put them in therefore they will be included in the changes storyboard with their shot number and duration. 

The rapid pace continues to the last scene where the audience is left on a cliff hanger as all that can be seen is Jodie being held hostage at gun point with Matt shouting "No Jodie" and the sound of a gun shot. This is where the audience begins to ask the questions "who got shot?" "who lives and who dies?" by the end of the trailer we want the audience to be interested and what to see the film and see who lives and dies.
