Here is our first draft of our storyboard as a rough sketch and plan for our teaser trailer, the following is a deconstruction of our 30 shots that we have in mind to build a definite shooting schedule from.
Shot 1: A close up eye level shot of a still candle, within low key lighting. (Inspiration see "Mood boards" post)
Shot 2: Low angle extreme close up of hand gripping forest dirt floor.
Shot 3: A close up eye level shot of a flickering candle, within low key lighting.
Shot 4: Eye level close up of male feet positioned in upper third, with female feet below, to subliminally demonstrate the position of the assailant overpowering the victim.
Shot 5: Close up high angle almost POV of the assailant with his hands covering the protagonists face (this will demonstrate her fear, to highlight how this is not a permissive sexual encounter.)
Shot 6: A close up eye level shot of a flickering candle, within low key lighting.
Shot 7: Low angle perhaps in the dirt, of the male arm overpowering the female arms again by having it pushing the limbs to the floor, not only to recognise the strength but the total lack of freedom to victim has in such a sexual assault.
Shot 8: A close up eye level shot of a blown out candle, within low key lighting.
Between these we will have the subliminal shots fading into black screens, the symbols contrasting to the sexual assault as calm vs terror. The black screens aid to build up the tension, yet since it is not a montage edit we are building from our editing type from last years coursework, whilst creating a more serious and mature tone to our social realism piece.
Shot 9: BLACK SCREEN.
Shot 10: High angle almost birds eye close up within the ambulance post attack of her laying on the ambulance bed.
Shot 11: Stop motion close up eye level of an egg cracking. (Reference to "Pitch" blog post, with specific acknowledgment of the symbols slide.)
Shot 12: Match on action of same shot but within the woods laying on the forest floor.
Shot 13: Eye level extreme close up of melting candle to continue the integrated theme (Note blog post "Pitch" again acknowledging symbols slide.)
Shot 14: Long angle pan across the bedroom establishing her as a atypical 'normal' girl whom the audience can identify with, further emphasises the realism aspect using domesticated setting.
Shot 15: High angle almost birds eye of her laying on her bed in a curled up foetal position (emphasising vulnerability), on the bed we had previously established.
Shot 16: Stop motion close up eye level of an egg cracking.
Shot 17: Match on action of same shot of her in same position but on the forest floor again.
Shot 18: Eye level extreme close up of melting candle.
Shot 19: Close up eye level pan of her in a car or train travelling with her head on the window, leaning whilst crying.
Shot 20: Match on action of her within the same position in same pan yet with her head on a tree trunk (perhaps with some blood on her face to recognise its post attack).
Shot 21: Extreme close up of her brushing her teeth.
Shot 22: Match on action of same shot yet getting swabs post attack.
Shot 23: Stop motion close up eye level of an egg cracking.
Shot 24: Long angle of her in the middle of a crowd, surrounded by people likely in a corridor or even in shopping centre.
Shot 25: Match on action of same shot but her in the woodland, perhaps even with the perpetrator positioned behind.
Shot 26: Eye level extreme close up of melting candle.
Shot 27: Stop motion close up eye level of an egg cracking.
Shot 28: Extreme close up high angle (almost POV) of blade about to slit a female wrist.
Shot 29: Match on action of above shot, yet using a fruit such as a blood orange etc to imitate the blood spillage, more as a metaphorical symbolism, yet also to be subliminal.
Shot 30: Extreme close up eye high angle of a cracked egg, with the yolk spilt across a white surface or even red rug.
