Storyboards

Here you can see that this is the storyboard for when the character Zoe Hunter is getting up and ready. Most of these shots will be filmed with eye level shots or close up to show the audience exactly what is going on.

I will use a close up of the alarm clock ticking on the bed side table. Little of the bedroom will be seen in this shot and the main aim of it will be to show the audience the time the teen is waking up.

The next shot will be of Emily sleeping in the bed which will be the first introduction of a character to the audience. For this shot I will use a high angle to show how vulnerable this teen is before going into an eye level angle so people can get a better connection with the character.

I'll then have a shot of the alarm clock going off with Emily's hand reaching out to shut it off. I'll again use a close up shot to catch the action of her hand hitting the clock and shutting it off; showing her teenage tenderises to not want to get up.

I will then have a close up shot of Emily opening her eyes. This gives the audience a good connection with this character and also shows her waking up and obviously getting ready for the day ahead.

I'll then have a medium shot of Emily entering the bathroom. This will be followed by a shot from over the shoulder where you see her looking in the mirror and adjusting her hair before turning the tap on. You will see a close up shot of her doing this before there is a close up shot of her face as she uses the water to wash it.

You will then see her down stairs where she is seen making her breakfast which will use mainly close ups shots to show each of her actions intently. I will also use a medium shot to show her reaching up to get a mug out the make a cup of tea.

You'll then see Emily in the bathroom brushing her teeth. I'll use again a shot from over the shoulder so you can see her looking in the mirror before picking up her toothbrush and brushing her teeth. I will show a close up of the tap running before she rinses her toothbrush and applies the toothpaste. I will also show a close up of her face as she brushes her teeth. I will stand in front of her so it will seem as if the camera was the mirror to the audience.

You will then see her grab a strap from the bag and place it on her back in one swift motion.

I will then have a close up shot of the skateboard on the carpet and Emily will walk over to it and you will see her hand in the shot going to pick the board up and then walking away.

After this I will have a long shot of Emily opening the front door and walking out. She will be seen closing the door before walking off towards the side and out of shot.

I will have a medium shot that'll turn into a long shot of Emily skating way form the house from behind. I will also take a close up of the wheels of the skateboard and put it between the clip of her skating and another.

I will have a low shot of her skating past a different street heading towards the bus stop with her coming up from behind me at an angle so she ended in the centre of the shot.
I'll have a medium shot of Emily waiting at the bus stop, looking out towards the street in anticipation for the bus. She will look slightly nervous and also sad as she wait.

                  (This section of the story board shows the different shots I was considering using but ended up cutting out of the final product due to them being too time consuming. Everything up until the teen waiting at the bus stop is what has been cut)                                                 

I will then have a medium shot again from the side of the bus approaching the bus stop and Emily holding her hand out to stop it.

I will take a medium shot, close up, and side shot of Emily on the bus. I will get all these different angles to give the audience more of a connection with this character and also to show more of her emotion to the audience. By getting closer and closer to this character it gives the audience a better understanding of her and gives an indication that her walls are breaking and that we will soon understand more about this character.

I will then have a medium shot of Peter sitting in the car with the camera close to his face pointing in the direction of where Emily will be skating. I will use this shot so it gives the audience more of an idea of what this character is like without them getting to close to them, as after all he is a stalker and the main objective is to not be seen.

I will then have a wide shot of Emily skating past the car from the perspective of the stalker in the driver’s seat and then from a position in front of her as she approaches the under passage. This will give people the sense that she is going on a journey somewhere and we are following her to see where she goes.

I will then have various shots from the side of Emily as she puts the posters up in both the under passage and on the graffiti wall before having an close up going into an extreme close up of the missing persons poster.
