Storyboard for film opening


This is the beginning of the storyboard. The first scene will consist of the main characters feet walking along a street. Costume is important in this scene, as we want to show this character is a female, so any masculine shoes will not be used but instead quite feminine.
This shot will be partly an establishing shot as it will show some of the setting of the scene. It is also low angle, just showing the feet, giving mystery to who this person is. This will be panning, so the camera follows the feet. The sound of this scene will be the sound of shoes, so this is the main focus of what's happening in the scene.

This shot is a medium shot of the character sticking this 'Lost cat' poster on a post. This also is a zooming shot, this is to emphasise the poster is important in this scene. The sound will be the sound of the poster being put onto the post, this is so there are no distractions away from the poster.
This shot is a low angle shot of the feet of the character, and once again panning so the camera follows the feet. This shows the person walking back home after putting the poster up. This will also have panning, so the feet are followed. Similar to the first shot, this shot will have the sound of shoes which is diagetic sound.
This shot will be a long shot/ establishing shot of the character entering her house. This shows the setting to the audience.
This shot will be a two shot/ over the shoulder shot of the main character and their parent. The sound will consist of the parent asking if she's going to look for her lost cat.
Low angle shot of the feet walking out of the house (editing used will be graphic match) then fades onto the feet walking onto Ashtead common.
Using this editing technique skips time, so the audience doesn't get bored.
Again the sound will be the shoes walking, this shows that the shoes are the key part of this.
Also panning will be used once again to follow the feet.

This shot will be a zooming shot of a rustling hedge, this is zoomed in on as it is the main focus as the character thinks this may be her cat, so enters the woods. The sound will be the rustling of the hedge, this is to emphasise the action.
This shot will be an over the shoulder shot of the character looking into the woods. The sound will be the rustling of a hedge, and the character will be approaching it.
This shot is a long shot of the character walking through the woods, there will be the rustling sounds continued.
There will be a close up of the characters eyes, showing the fear. The sound will be the rustling noise.
This shot will show the zombie character running across in front of the main character. It will be a long shot. As it is dark, the viewer won't have any idea of what the zombie character looks like, or what it even is. The only sound will be the zombie character running across the woods.

This is an extreme close up of the eyes to show the fear of the main character, with the rustling sound continued. This is to show the fear of the unknown character.

There will then be a series of short shots, from close up of the eyes, to fast panning shots showing the zombie character running. There will be the noise of screaming.
