StoryBoärd Process

Draft of storyboard.

While incorporating everyone's idea together we then came up with our new story board; however some of the features that were originally in the storyboard were kept the same such as the diary entry the narration and so forth. These were kept the same specifically so that we stuck to the conventions of Film Noir.







Scene 1: Establishing shot of the room using the echo effect.
scene 2: Extreme close-up of a female flicking the diary pages with a soft voice of the woman narrating.
Scene 3: The woman walks into the room with a diagetic sound of heels. There is a close up of her legs.
Scene 4:The female circles around the chair- on the chair there is a notepad zoom in to: ‘she’s done it again’ on the notepad
Scene5: From the notepad we dissolve into her diary. She continues talking, and turns the page. She sees the picture and gives a mischievous smirk.
Scene 6: Low angle of her shoes when she is walking which tilts up slowly (up her body) finally to the face there is another echo effect on her face.
Scene 7:POV shot of her looking at the collage of pictures of men with ‘X’ s on them. She adds the picture to the collage and we her pen she points the picture to his face-contemplating
Scene8: We zoom out from the collage then pan to the desk where the woman shuts the diary leaving her hand with a large ring on top



Throughout this processes of getting our storyboard together we made various changes, as we were all individually come up with new and improved ideas about what will happen in our opening sequence.

One of the main changes that were made was the order as to how our opening sequence is going to start. Originally out idea was to start it off with a close up shot of the females hand as she flicks through her Diary, this would have been done to show uncertainty and to indicate to the audinece that something is wrong with her.

We then decided that we may not use another echo effect; even though the initial idea of this was to show that she is a schizophrenic, and another purpose of the diary was to show that she has done something out of the ordinary or something in which she should not have done (referring to female character)

In scene 8 originally we were going to have the pages of the female characters diary flicking until it clode itself shut. Due to logical reasons this would have been a huge filming problem as it would have been hard to find a way to do this.
When I first devised my storyboard I did take this into consideration as a potential problem although I thought this may have been an effective way to end the opening sequence so I decided not to change it.
