And Another Storyboard!

Prior to our shoot in London, several things had happened. Namely, our first rough cut was peer assessed, and it became increasingly apparent that what we had created was not to a high enough standard. Heads had been cut out of shots, lighting was too dark, panning shots weren't smooth and, well, it just wasn't good. It was that assessment that we did as a class that put into practice the whole process of the London shoot.

The idea of shooting in London changed the narrative in a drastic way- suddenly, this idea of our protagonist planning his crazed plans outside the Houses of Parliament was becoming the main arrative drive of out opening. And so, we figured that we needed to start from scratch, go back to the drawing board so to speak, and attempt to make saomething that was more effective as an opening.

Since then, we've been able create a much more effective opening (which you can see in previous posts), but I'd like to share with you, reader, the storyboards that formulated that footage. We decided to shoot:

''-Callum on the train looking impatient/agitated. 
-Callum amongst a crowd just walking.
-Establishing shot of Callum smirking and gritting his teeth with the The Houses Of Parliment behind him.-Iconic buildings of London.'' 

This group discussion then formed the basis for the creation of our new and revised storyboard:














Our Storyboard!
This storyboard is certainly an improvement on our previous cut. Whilst we've already shot the London parts of the storyboard,we've yet to shoot the scenes from within the protagonists' home. However, with this storyboard completed, I feel confident that we can construct an opening that is effective and engaging...
