Individual Storyboard- Miss Miller

When planning our group narrative, each member of our group made an individual storyboard. This is to plan how we expect our final narrative to look like. As each member made one, we can then see how all of us plan our opening scene to look like. Then, put together all of our ideas begin to create our narrative in which we all believe is as scary and as tension building as it could be. Also, the individual storyboard allows for changes to our narrative to be made. If a member of our group has included a key, useful point, we can then add that to our narrative and adapt on our idea.

In my storyboard, I have included where each frame will be set, what camera angle we are using, the iconography that will be used, the lighting that will be seen, what actors will be used, the sound that we will include and how we are going to edit that frame and a decription of the narrative. Each of these points will then help us when filming our frames in what needs to be done and therefore, we can get it done effectivley, not wasting any time and filming the correct things in which we need.

My storyboard includes five frames on each page, on all which i would include within my narrative. It gives a detailed description of each frame, giving information about what camera shot I would use, the location in where it would be set, if any iconography would be used, the lighting which we could see, actors included, the editing style we would use and then finally a narrative description, giving a description of what would happen within that frame.

My first page includes the first five frames of my narrative. Overall, the first five frames show a person walking towards a house, of which we don't know anything about. In the second frame we are shown the girl in the house cooking and preparing food. We are able to know more detail about what is happening and through the use of the detailed explanation, when it comes to filming we can create an extreme thrilling sense. 

The second page of my individual storyboard we are given more details about the girl and what she is doing. As the frames progress we are able to know that the killer has entered her house and now the girl is running away from him. The chasing scene and the uneasy movements of the camera, it builds tension and suspense to what may happen.

Within my individual storyboard and when deciding what to include within my storyboard. I took inspirations from many thriller films in which I had recently seen or had seen before. The main film in which I took my inspirations from to include within my storyboard is Insidious. The household setting in which is used within the film, I believed to be a great influence in order to make the film as scary as possible which is why I included it within my narrative. The household setting will create a suspense and tension building feel to my opening scene making it seem more realistic for the audience. 

Storyboards are used when film making to give the film crew a visual idea of how the film will look like. Therefore, can plan and prepare for the film in advance. Storyboards can also help prevent a lot of wasted time when filming a movie. The director knows exactly what to look and film for so therefore, the camera man will not film anything unnecessary to the narrative. This makes the filming process quicker and efficient.

In my storyboard, I have included where each frame will be set, what camera angle we are using, the iconography that will be used, the lighting that will be seen, what actors will be used, the sound that we will include and how we are going to edit that frame and a decription of the narrative. Each of these points will then help us when filming our frames in what needs to be done and therefore, we can get it done effectivly, not wasting any time and filming the correct things in which we need.

I believe that my storyboard is as effective as it could be. Each point has a detailed descroption of what needs to be done and why it will be done. When filiming our clips for our opening scene, my individual storybaord will help in to making the process as easy and quick as possible. I also believe that my storyboard is as helpful as it could be, each point is descriptive, which helps our group know what to do and why it has to be done.
