AS Media - Storyboard

The Brief:
- To create a storyboard for our media 2 minute film.




Location[s]

As a group we were originally going to film at Boughton Mount Centre, which is an abandoned school, however recently it has been cautioned off by police and trespassing laws now abide in that area so we had to relocate. We then came up with the idea of filming in Loose Valley instead, in specifics nearby the stream that is located in that area. We also chose Loose because it was still just as suitable to the storyline and we could make even more creative shots in the location due to the appealing landscape that surrounds the stream.

Here are the listed locations we will use:

- Loose Valley
- Forest

These two locations are both near to us and each other making it widely more accessible for the whole of our group making them convenient for us all.

Actors

The two listed actors we are going to have are:

Myself [Josh] - as the killer
Lucy [Group Member] - as the victim

Due to Lucy and I being A-Level drama students this made the choice of actors much simpler as we were both comfortable playing the roles we were given, also this meant that we would be more reliable than someone else outside of the group who is giving up their spare time whereas we are required to be there regardless.

Props

Here are the listed props we will require:

-Fake Blood
-Animals Blood
-Twig
-Replica of victims top
-Cushion
-Blood Packs
-Knife
-Earphones
-School bag
-Un-smashed phone
-Smashed Phone

Costume[s]

Here is the listed costumes we will require:

[Killer]
-Walking Boots
-Baggy Joggers
-Baggy Jumper/Sweatshirt

[Victim]
-Casual Clothes
-Clothes with stab wound and blood on

Sound

Here is the listed sounds we will require:

-Music (uncopyrighted and manipulated to sound more eerie)
-Distorted Ringtone
-Sound effects of walking/twig snapping

Film Titles

These are the film titles we came up with:

-Silent Killer
-The Watched
-EYE-SPY

These titles are all relevant to the stalker idea portrayed in our film opening however some are less conventional than others such as "EYE-SPY". Due to the genre of our film being slasher we thought involving the word 'Killer' into a title such as "SIlent Killer" would lead to the title conforming to the conventions of the genre and man=king it a successful film title.

We then decided that "Silent Killer" was indeed the prefered option of the group as a whole and stuck with that option as it is far more conventional than others and captures what the film is about in a simple two words.
