Updated Storyboard Blog Post #36

 Updated Storyboard for our Film Opener!

Hi guys, welcome back to another blog. Today, I will be talking about the changes our new storyboard includes and describing things such as sounds and camera effects. Ok lets get started!

The updated storyboard for our film opener is pretty different. Initially, the original storyboard focused on a killer stalking the victim inside a house, and once they commit the crime, they leave a doll as their signature. While that idea wasn't bad for the film, we decided to change the setting because neither of our homes looked like the vibe we wanted the house to have. The new storyboard takes place outside in a nighttime environment. It focuses on suspense and stalking, kind of like the original one, but it is different in terms of how suspense is built. The new setting has dark streets, large bushes, and sidewalks. The main character, Kyle, is all alone in a public safe, which makes him more vulnerable to danger. The new storyboard emphasizes movement, with Kyle walking, running, and being chased, instead of being stuck inside a house. 

Also, the camera work was updated in the new storyboard. The new one uses more medium shots where The Killer cannot fully be seen, instead of wide shots in the original, where only The Killer's silhouette is shown. Also, the original storyboard has a lot of close-ups of things like blood, while the new one contains close-ups of the character's face, allowing the audience to see how they react to things. The new storyboard contains a shot where Kyle is shot from a low-angle, allowing him to be in frame with the phone. The original storyboard does not contain any shots like this, so we added it in the new one because it also shows Kyle's body language and facial expressions. The new storyboard also shows that there are sounds such as an axe swinging and a twig snapping. The old storyboard had sounds like police sirens, but it is different from the sounds present in the new one because it is played after everything has happened, while the ones in the new storyboard happened around the beginning and middle of it.
