Storyboard

This is the storyboard for our thriller opening.

 
On the first page, it starts with a shot of a car pulling up to a person in a dark part of the woods, the car lights flash, showing the figure infront of it. Then it cuts straight to the main title of the film, and then the directors and producers. There is then a side view of a car at high pursuit.

 
There is then a rear view of the car, and then a birdseye shot of the car moving down the road. Then, the shot is of the man driving the car, and the camera will be positioned at the back of the car, facing forwards. There is then a close up shot of the man grabbing his phone as he noticed it is ringing. He puts the phone to his head.


 
After the suspense, it then shows the actors, and other parts of the film crew.
