Main Task Storyboard

For our first shot we are going to be using a establishing shot of my house, this shot establishes the context because is shows the relationship between its important figures and objects.  We will also be adding an ambient sound effect to create a insecure atmosphere when the audience is looking at the frame.

For our second shot we will be using a long shot of our protagonist 'Leena Wilkes' and her friend 'Maya Stone', this shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.

This is a mid shot of the two characters studying, and the protagonist is looking away. The reason why we chose to have Leena looking away was to show that she is being distracted by something and her mind is elsewhere. Also, we decided to change the characters names from Jennifer, to Lena and Ellie to Maya because we thought that the name Lena and Maya suited the characters face more than Jennifer and Ellie.  

For this shot, we decided to use a close up shot of Lena’s face to show the expression on it and to let the audience know that even though Lena is denying that anything is wrong. Her face expression is saying otherwise, and that perhaps she is holding her emotions in for some unknown reason. 

This is a close up shot of Maya talking to Leena. We have written that we'll use a close up shot, but we may change it to mid shot to enable the viewers to be able to read the top half of their body language. We are going to use shot reverse shot in this scene to show off the skills we learnt from the preliminary task. Also, we think that it is an appropriate technique to use to show off conversation.   

We used a close up point of view shot from Maya, facing Jennifer, this was to show the viewers her face expression so they can keep up with the story and understand it.

This is a mid shot of Maya from Leena's point of view, this was again used to show body language and to show that Maya is worried about her friend, Leena.

We may decide to have her doing a voice over talking about how worried she is about her friend Lena, this would allow the viewers to connect with the film because they have an insight into how she is feeling and that is something that only she would know.

This is a long shot showing Lena sitting down. We chose to use a long shot for this scene so that it is clear to the audience that after her friend, Maya leaves, she sits back down
