Storyboard

So we were finally able to create our storyboard:

Storyboard explained:

    The scene is gonna start with a high angle of Serena walking upstairs her room obviously looking distraught. Once she gets to the top of the stairs this is where the medium tracking shot begins that will last most of the scene. Once she enters the room she's going to visibly be a mess. She's gonna look stressed and conflicted. She'll have her hands on her hand. Then she'll walk to her closet while we follow her as she looks at everything in there for a minute. After a minute she will start ripping everything out and making the room a mess as if someone came in and she left unwillingly.

    This is where we use parallel editing and cut to various shots of the mom cooking dinner. For the rest of the scene we cut back and fourth between scenes of Serena and her mom doing completely different things at the same time. We then see Serena packing up her back and getting ready to leave. When she's leaving we switch to shots of the mom walking upstairs back and fourth. The ending scene will be a shot of the mom finally entering the room and leave the viewers wondering whether or not Serena made it out in time or if her mom caught her. It builds tension in the audience.

    In the storyboard, you can see an X and arrows throughout the board. The X indicates where we will be standing while filming and the arrows show the direction we will be moving in while film.

Next step.... Filming!!
