Planning- Storyboard initial ideas

As a group we created a story board with our plot ideas, we used a storyboard as this is a creative way for us to plan our film ideas. We included the different variety of shots we are going to use whilst filming. (There is a fade to black after every shot)

Shot 1- This is a wide shot that we are going to film of the Richie hall within our school Longsands Academy. This is one of our mai n scenes as this is where the school shooting is going to take place. It also helps to set the scene of the genre of physiological thriller as the audience will be able to link the props like the gun for example to the school setting in immediately in the head will know the storyline.

Shot 2- This is going to a wide shot of empty corridors, this will help to build suspense for the audience and further help to set the scene. It will give the trailer an eery atmosphere which will add to the suspense.

Shot 3- Next we are going to use a wide shot of lockers which is adding to the setting of the empty school atmosphere which will make the audience tense to know what happens next.

Shot 4- In this shot we are going to have a close up of our fake gun which we are going to include in our trailer. This will help connote the physiological thriller trailer and tell the audience that something bad is going to happen next. They use a similar shot to this in the film elephant that I analysise in my research and I thought it was very effected.

Shot 5- Here we are going to film a wide shot of Richie hall to show where the event is going to happen later on in the trailer to help set the scene.

Shot 6-This is a close up shot of a hand cocking a gun, this will create mystery and tension as the audience will want to know who the antagonist is. This is a typical camera shot for a physiological thriller which I have found out in my research of the elephant trailer.
