Storyboard...

Today I storyboarded my idea for my teaser trailer. I thought it would be important in preparing a storyboard, aswell as a shot list for the things I want to include in my teaser trailer. To storyboarding of my idea took a while to work out what I wanted and where I wanted to put it. The whole process of story boarding took the majority of the day as I had to sketch out each frame/scene of my teaser trailer. The sketches I drew are only a rough guideline to what I want to capture during filming and are subject to change as other ideas and thought can influence to final product of my teaser trailer. For each frame/scene I wrote a description of either character action, scene action and the dialogue and sound.

For the character action, I described what the character in the particular scene that I sketch would be doing. I came up with a general, vague concept so that any ideas whilst filming and the process of thoughts could fit into the concept and still make sense. The next section I filled out for each scene was the scene action. For most of the scenes I wrote that the scenes would be stationary and the only thing tat would be in action would be the character and the Mise-on-scene and the rest of the frame would be still. Other scenes there would be objects moving in the Mise-en-scene such as doors. Another key aspect of my storyboard that I filled out for each scene was the dialogue/sound that was being used. For the scenes that had dialogue I wrote in that there would be improvised dialogue as i have taken the decision to have an improvised dialogue to provoke some more natural acting. In addition to this, the dialogue would be diegetic and part of the the scene, whereas the sound FX of the scene would be non diegetic and is an area that needed deep thought as I had visualise what type of music I wanted for each scene. For example , for the scene where Patient 13 is drawing up the images I have written in that I want a thud sound effects to link them all together so there is continuity in my work.

Apart from this, there were also some additional information about the timing of  each scene. I realise that I didn't have to fill this information at this present time as the timing of each screen could be subject to change and will be based of the experimentation of what works best in the teaser trailer.
