Aice Media Portfolio (Storyboard)

 Here's the completion of my Opening Film Storyboard

For the last couple of days, I'd been working on the storyboard for my team, since I knew best the idea of the opening to be able to express it in a storyboard. The storyboard will greatly help me and my group plan out our thoughts, know what we want to focus on and research how to create the effects needed like the visual effects and sound effects. I tried to draw it as best as I could to make it understandable in the sense of a horrific atmosphere, to enforce these traumatic effects. On the plot summarisation blog I went over in detail the entire story of the opening, what is being shown on the storyboard, adding context so that you, the reader could understand the storyline. 

 Points of the Storyboard

  • Throughout the storyboard, I added details as in shading. I really want to explore darker visuals, showing lighting techniques like low-key lighting to emphasize how this entire attack happens during the nighttime. I also really wanted to add this to factor in a more horror-type atmosphere to express the genre of horror in this.
  • Throughout a lot of these scenes, I made it so we could view this story in the eyes of the father. I made it this way to trick the viewers into believing this would be the protagonist, who we'd actually focus on, so that in the end when he gets killed off it adds a sense of mystery to who would continue the storyline. 
  • In the storyboard I use a lot of blood effects, showing pools of bloods, splatter, and blood marks throughout their faces, arms, and shirts. I actually do plan to buy fake blood to create these effects. Hannah said she had fake blood from Halloween, but if she doesn't we agreed we'd have a field trip to Walmart!
  • VERY IMPORTANT change to it: I'd talked to my teacher about the storyboard and she recommended that it'd be best for the first 10-15 seconds of the opening to be a pure black screen, showing the credits and at the end the title screen. I agreed with her because, in the original draft, I'd made it so that in the first 5-6 scenes of the storyboard I'd put the credits. My teacher pointed out to me that it kinda takes away the focus from the events that are crucial to the story as the eyes of viewers would be drawn into the text that would appear. I also moved the title card because my teacher also reminded me that it isn't recommended to have the title card at the very end of the opening as it isn't visually appealing or accepting.
