Storyboard for Opening Scene!

First Storyboard

We decided to start off with a news report, and this would include an article about a fire that happened in the local area. We did this to foreshadow later events. The camera slowly zoomed out of the television, and started to pan. The only sound that can be heard is the news reporters on the television.
The second shot on this storyboard shows the camera panning around the room. We did this to show the setting and to show the boxes, and this indicates that they are moving in. No sound can be heard apart from the news reporters.
Once the camera finally stops panning, it reaches a young man sitting on his sofa, watching the TV. This shows the stereotypical man as he is not doing anything. The shot later goes on to show him pausing the TV.
There is then a cut into the kitchen, where a young woman is making herself a cup of tea. this again shows a stereotype. We showed this in a long-shot to again set the scene, and make sure it was clear to the audience that she was in the kitchen.
The final shot of this storyboard is of the woman standing next to the television, and screaming at the young man on the sofa. This is because he would not bring in the boxes, which again shows that they have just moved in.

Second Storyboard

The first shot is of the man collecting boxes from his car, to again signify that they are moving in. we did not include this though, so there was a slight change to the plan.
We also didn't use the second shot, but we did use one similar. We decided to do a shot like this to show the book and to emphasise that it would play a major role in our film.
The third shot is of the young man asking his girlfriend what the book is. We did this to show that there was not just anger in the relationship, and to show that they could talk to each other normally.
We were not sure if we showed enough of the book, so we took a close-up of it in the box, and this also showed where he put the book.
The final shot is of the young woman looking into the mirror, and this is when she discovers a ghost. We put this at the end because it leaves a real cliff-hanger.
