My StoryBoard for my Title Sequence

In our Media lesson on Friday 28th November, me and Emily have thoroughly discussed and have expanded our ideas about what the opening title sequence of our Thriller film is going to be about.

This is our StoryBoard:

Scene 1) At the Woods

A close-up shot of the person's iPod which zooms out and the audience sees the person walking through Abbey Wood Ruins, listening to their iPod, so they are completely oblivious to what is going on around them. The background music will be the song on the person's iPod and the point of view will be from a mysterious stalker in the bushes watching the person.

Scene 2) At the Woods

This is from the point of view of the stalker: sees the person walking.
Behind the person, there will be a bush or a tree moving as if someone's hiding behind it but the person on her iPod is unaware of this. The audience doesn't see the figure - this creates suspense and tension.

Scene 3) At Stalkers House

There are loads of knives and the camera moves along, showing all the knives. We don't see the stalkers face but his hands moves on to the most sharpest and biggest knife. This shows the audience that he/she has an obsession with knives.

Scene 4) At the Woods

The person is walking - the stalker is hiding behind the bush - the audience doesn't see him but sees the bush move.

Scene 5) At the stalkers house

We see the stalkers reflection in the knife, but we don't actually see his face, only a dark figure. This represents darkness and mystery.

Scene 6) At the Woods

The stalker behind the bush/tree reveals himself - dressed in black (again, we don't see his face) and follows the person. The person realises there is something behind him/her, stops and turns around. The stalker suddenly disappears.

Scene 7) At the Stalkers House

The stalker picks up the knife slowly and we see the audience's reflection in the knife - close-up shot of stalker's reflection (his face is covered, we just see a darkness).

Scene 8) At the Woods

The victim is walking and the camera moves sideways and the audience can see the stalker hiding in the bushes and watching the person walking. The person doesn't realise and carries on walking.

Scene 9) At Stalkers House

The knife is put down on the pictures of the person whilst the blood gradually spreads all over it. This is a close-up shot.

Scene 10) At the Woods

Lastly, the audience sees the stalker walking and grabs the person's shoulder and the peson drops the iPod in shock in a slow motion shot. Blood splatters everywhere.

- We are considering using a heart monitor to represent the person is dead when it is seen going flat but the stalkers identity isn't revealed to the audience.
- It is shown briefly coming out from the bushes, while its rustling due to the cold weather.
- The shots of stalkers house is never shown to the audience. Obsession is shown through lots of pictures, blood on pictures and loads of knives.
