Storyboard of our opening sequence:

Here are pictures of the storyboards we created for our opening sequence before our first shoot. (This is a very late post as I lost my USB wire which linked my phone to my computer, so was unable to upload pictures.)

Final Cut

Production Meeting 5

This meeting was again spent storyboarding. Only me (Tom P) and Hugh were present because Tom A was in court. The storyboard has finally been almost completed however it has taken an extremely long time. The time spent is the equivilent of the running time of the film Avatar (2 hours and 40 minutes).

From this meeting we have decided that the next priorities are the shot list and scipt.

Production Meeting 4

This meeting has been mostly spent on storyboarding our sequence. The timeline was also finished and a list of props, actors and costume was made. The storyboard is about a quarter complete and very time consuming due to the number of shots we plan to have.

The main task that has been set is to finish our storyboard as soon as possible so changes can made if needed and all is ready for our test shoot on Sunday.

Tom A - Final synopsis, Music,

Hugh - Audience, Practicalities

Meeting 1: Initial Idea

(Working Title: TBD)


The narrative centres around an innocent young man whom at the start we see running into his house through the back. He has a few minor injuries and is frightened. He enters his house and makes his way upstairs in a hurry. He enters one of the front-facing rooms on the upper floor and cautiously looks out of the window. 

At this moment we see a car pull up outside his house and a man steps out. He is carrying a gun and quickly puts on a balaclava. He carefully scans the street for activity (of which there is none). From the window the innocent man tries to get a closer look, but as a result the armed man notices him and stares straight up at the window. 

Alarmed, the innocent man makes his way to the top of the house, desperate for an escape route. He reaches the top of the house and on inspection realises he cannot escape through the window on the roof. Suddenly he hears the sound of the door closing, telling him that the armed man is in the house. There is no way out.

We then follow the armed man through his search of the house and gradually up the several flights of stairs. The house is silent as neither of the men are eager to give away their position. The armed man then enters the room of the innocent man.

(Ending TBC:)

The armed man notices his target and approachs him; the gun trained on his head. However, instead of shooting him, he knocks his target out. End.
