Storyboard












The first few slides were basic to create, The only specialist symbol I used was an arrow to show that the subject was travelling forwards.











The second slide in this section was hard to create, I needed to show that two wheels of the car were coming through the frame, so I drew the frame and used arrows to show that the car will be moving through the frame.




I drew the female runner in a very basic way as to not to overcomplicate the storyboard, and to fit in with the basic style of the rest of the storyboard. Likewise with the knife and the fist clenching the handle.

I labelled the sides of the picture "trees" and "grass" to show what we would ideally have in the shot without having to draw the whole thing.


I also included a P.O.V note at the bottom to make it clear that we would be in the perspective of the killer,and also a distance between the camera and the female runner also.






To make it clear what is coming out of the suspected killer's mouth I labelled it "Warm Breath" so that it is easy for the camera crew to understand what needs to be filmed.


Similarly with this slide, I labelled the drawing P.O.V and also gave a judgment of the distance between the subject and the camera.





This was a technically challenging slide top create due to the fact that the action of the camera was very advanced and it had to be explained in one shot so I drew a small box around the siren of the police car, then drew four arrows from the corners pointing to a larger box and captioned the box "Zoom out" this makes it very clear that the camera zooms out of from the siren to reveal a wide shot of the car. I also drew an arrow on the ground in front of the car to show its movement.





To show a sudden take down from behind I drew a pair of hands with a box zooming in on them to show that the hands would be covering the camera lens as if they were eyes, this shot would be P.O.V, as i said on the slide.









The last shot is the longest shot , and most definitely the most complicated shot. It is of the detective getting out of his car and walking towards the crime scene. That sounds quite basic, however the whole shot is a close up tracking shot from behind, followed by a camera pan around the head to show the face. this shot would definitely be pulled off by a drone due to the steady capabilities and also the ability to follow the subject through the car...probably. 

To represent this shot on the story board I used three slides. The first slide comprised of of a long shot, again I drew a box to represent what we see on camera, I used the long shot so that I could include the whole movement of the camera. I showed the detective getting out of his car by using an arrow, then a larger arrow along the ground to show his direction of travel. I then drew lines from the corners of the first box to the corners of the second box to show the movement of the shot, where it started and where it ended.

I then drew a slide which showed where the tracking in the shot ended, and what we were left with once the detective stopped walking, again i drew two boxes with lines leading from corner to corner to represent the pan of the camera. The camera pans around the head of the detective at 180 degrees to then show his face.
