Storyboard!

This is the story board we created to show the opening two minutes of our film. It shows the basic idea of what we would like are final movie production to look like. These pictures arnt perfect but allow us to get the best idea of what we wanted to film as possible.

The first picture shows how we will begin our film, a close up of someones feet that will create an air of mystery around what is happening and hopefully have the desired effect of unsetteling the audience.



This second picture is a long shot that reveals who the mystery person was and shows that he is a student who goes to the school. By taking it from behind a bush it gives the audience the feeling that he is being watched by someone or something.

This third picture is a medium shot that shows the character going into an area that either he shouldnt be going in to or somewhere that is going to have dangerous substances inside. We have now established this charecter as a main charecter due to him being the only character we see for the first three slides.

This is a high angle/over the shoulder shot which gives a good view of what the character is doing and how bored his body language is. It also shows that he his all on his own with no friends around him.

This is when we become aware that he is in a detention and having the teacher go through work that he should of done at a previous date. At this point it would still be unclear to the audience that is a horror and would allow them to settle .

This is a low angle/over the shoulder shot that reinforces to the audience that he is bored and looking at the clock to see if he will be able to leave his knowing that he had a detention.

This is a long shot of of the teacher leaving the room and trusting him to behave and get on with the work. It may also suggest that he could get up to mischief whilst the teacher is not in the room.

This is a long shot of the door slamming shut with an echoing boom leaving him alone in a big classroom.


This is a medium shot showing the character seeing this as an oppertunity to leave the detention and go home.

This is a close up of the character struggeling with the door and realising thazt it has been locked from the outside giving him no chance of leaving the room.

This is where the horror aspect of it starts with the flickering of lights on and off, with the room becoming much darker it unsettles the audience and makes them re evaluate the security they felt with this opening sequence.

This is a point of view shot just after the lights have come back on. We couldnt write on the board at that moment but their will be writing covering the bored telling the character of his death.

This is where we see a close up of the character really struggeling with the door trying to get to the freedom of outside.


This is a highangle shot finally showing the killer that had been hidden in the room since the beggining, this is the main point of the opening sequence and what the rest has been building up to. The scene will finish with the main characters blood on the window after the killer has stabed him.
