My Film Storyboard

I created a storyboard to show each section on my film (scenes) and how we intended to capture each shot. The storyboard was divided into four different sections with sub-sections to show how the shot would change during the scene.

The first section was the flashback onto the mother and son 20 years in the past. There is little dialgoue and they are playing a board game. I wanted to try and capture the close relationship between the pair by using a variety of shots, including a close up.

The second section is in the present day. It is set in the same room as the board game was played in the past to add effect. In the storyboard there is a clear label of this and also of the board game still being left out on the table, but with the pieces scattered over the floor. The boy (now a man) watching TV in an armchair. He checks his watch and exits the living room. The shot remains the same throughout this section.

The third section is of the man making his way from the hall way to the bedroom upstairs. A total of six different shots would have to be made in order to get the desired effect. The man walks swiftly and meaningfully through the house to reach his destination. The shots have been labelled and divided in this section of the storyboard so you can clearly see what I was trying to achieve.

The fourth section is the entrance into the bedroom and the brushing of the mothers hair. It has been shown that she is to be motionless and that the man needs to be enthusiastic and enjoying brushing his mothers hair. There is music to back the ending of this section.
