Storyboard

To create our storyboard we had to think about shots that we thought would look really effective and fit in well with our storyline. We started with shot where they would be standing next to each other and glance at each other; we thought this would be a really good opening shot that would define the genre of our film.  We then decided we wanted a shot from behind them sitting on a bench together looking out to the river, we thought this would create a really romantic setting.  We then decided on a shot of them having a cup of tea as a romance film does normally consist of them doing normal day-to-day things. The next few shots are going to consist of them doing romantic things in a variety of different locations, as this is a typical convention of trailers, we then moved onto the sad part of our story where she gets left alone and is really upset, this is then going to lead to us seeing the reason why the main male character goes to jail. This scene is going to include a montage of different camera angles of him "beating someone up". we think this will have a really strong impact on the audience, and will make them want to watch our film. Once we had finished our storyboard we had to create an animatic this is where we would make our storyboard into a moving storyboard that would portray our idea for our trailer, we did this using final cut pro. Here is our animatic.

Looking the animatic I think we have some really strong ideas, if we plan our filming well I believe that we will create a really strong trailer with a variety of shots and different camera angles. The music we have chosen is "Metal Detector" and "The Magician" by Jose Vanders. We chose these songs because we felt that it really worked well with the genre of our film and fitted well with the shots that we wanted to use, from the animatic I think we can tell both of these songs are going to be successful, in order to gain permission to use her songs we have emailed her explaining our task here is our proof:

I cannot wait to see our finished trailer and i am really positive that our trailer will be really successful.
