Final Storyboard

We decided to do a final storyboard where we will note our exact ideas of each scene, focusing on camera angles, shots, what particular objects we will focus on in each scene and how each scene will link into the next. We did not change much from the first storyboard however we made it slightly more detailed to make it clearer. The pictures are not that detailed however they portray what is happening which is all that is needed to explain ideas and actions that will happen.

Final Storyboard

1st Scene - A pan shot across alice's bedroom showing empty alcohol bottles and drug packets laid across the floor, showing the room in a mess. The camera will then pan across an image of alice passed out on the floor, portraying that she is unconcious from the drugs and alcohol, with messed up hair and her make up run down her face.

2nd Scene - The image will then fade into white to an ellipsis of time, where will begin at the start of the story explaining how alice ended up like this. The scene will start with a wide shot of her in a classroom, focusing on the teacher handing out homework to all of the students. The camera will then turn to alice as the teacher is giving her back her homework, and as she puts it on her desk the camera will do a close up shot of her reaction and expression. The camera will then turn to an up shot of the teacher as she starts to tell alice off. We will then use a shot reverse shot to show alice and the teacher arguing.

3rd Scene - The camera will then show alice storming out of the classroom and angrily walking down the path and the camera will follow her doing this. There will be an image of school in the background, and this scene will be fairly fast paced to portray anger.

4th Scene - The camera will then cut to an image of her walking down the lane, as it follows her with a mid shot. There will be close up shots of her walking along the lane, along with mid and long shots.

5th Scene - The camera will then focus on her reading a text from her phone, and we will use an extreme close up of the phone, as well as an up shot of alice to show her reaction from the text.

6th Scene - This scene will fade into black and white as we will be showing memories, so therefore this needs to differentiate from the other scenes that we show. This scene will show alice sitting with her friends, as they all share jokes together and talk, revealing that they are having fun together and showing their friendship.

7th Scene - The video will then cut back to a scene of her running down the lane again, looking extremely angry and upset. It will also show her arriving at her house and stepping through the front door. This will all be fast paced as we want to portray anger and frustration.

8th Scene - Alice will then walk into the living room, where she meets her mum who has been waiting there for a while. They start to argue and we will use shots such as a 360 degrees shot, and shot reverse shot to show the argument.

9th Scene - This scene will show Alice going into her kitchen whilst rushing to find alcohol and drug packets. She will search through cupboards and we will use close up shots to show her earching for them. Once she has fond them she then starts running up the stairs to her room.

10th Scene - This scene will show alice in her room, drinking the alcohol and taking the drugs, whilst crying and looking extremely upset. Her make up will be a lot messier as well as her hair and clothes scruffy. This scene will also be fast paced to again reveal how mad, and angry she really is.

11th Scene - This last scene will be a repeat of the opening scene as there will be pan shots across the floor of everything that has gone on. The camera will then focus on the door as a foot will peer through and that is where the video will end.

 

This storyboard will be extremely useful and make it much easier when filming as we will have something specific to follow by, which means we will not lose track of what we need to do at each scene.
