Storyboards

Storyboards

The reason why we decided to create a storyboard is because having a storyboard allows us to write down exactly what we have came up with so far in reference to our own film. This helps us plan exactly what we want to film on the day and to see what aspects of the film may be difficult or not work out of our film. We also decided to draw images on our storyboard not only to make it look better but to also give us a bit more of an understanding of what we plan to film.





The opening scene starts off with the boy waking up in his bed. The sound being heard is off one of his parents shouting at him. He quickly gets dressed while still being shouted at.
When he leaves for school he puts his headphones in and the shouting stops and some uplifting music begins.
During the opening scene




.















We have created two story boards for our montage that will feature after the opening scene. We will combine the best features of the two together. This will make the montage slightly longer because of the extra content we will include in it.











When the boy puts in his headphones the narration from the opening scene stops. The camera then tracks the boy from a head on position. We will use techniques like temporal extension on the boy to make the surroundings go faster around him. We will use a fish eye style lens in order to get the wider view angles needed to pull off such an effect. During the song we will change the angles of the camera in order to match the tempo and genre of the song.

 The montage will take the audience on a quick view of the boys life. Mostly through bad things such as: The weather raining on him, getting shouted at and not getting picked for teams ect.
The montage then ends with the boy at home by his desk.













The boy then searches the internet to find ways to entertain himself and then he comes across a blog post saying how a person changed his life. The boy then decides to read it and then tries to change his life. He decides to create a bucket list (Temporal ellipsis). This then all ends abruptly by the boys parents shouting at how he needs to get good grades for his exams.

The boy then goes and completes his bucket list. The audience can finally see the boy happy and enjoying himself. He gains more confidence as well. Some of the bucket list ideas happen quite quickly but some take place over a minute or two.

Towards the end of the film you see the boy make a blog post to the website he originally went on. He says how he has changed his life and how other people can do it too. The film then ends on him getting his results for his exams and having a surprised expression on his face. Then the film ends.
