Group Storyboard- Miss Georgiou

Group Storyboard

When coming up with our idea of our Thriller opening, each member in my group created their own individual storyboards which portrayed their ideas for what they would like to be included in our Thriller opening scene. We then discussed as a group and presented our ideas together and chose the best parts of our storyboards ideas to create a final group storyboard. We decided together the certain shots that we believed would create the best effect for that certain scene once put together with all the other elements of our opening. For example we would include high angle shots to portray the antagonist has a higher authority as it is a Thriller convention and therefore would have an affect on the audience.

From our group storyboard it has allowed us to have full understanding  of what we want to achieve when we film our thriller opening. We also, feel a lot more prepared now we have a storyboard, because we have something to follow and refer to during the filming production including what camera shots we want to use and in what scene/location.



Our storyboards and narrative theory are conventional to a Thriller film as they both include the generic conventions in what make a Thriller film effective. In both we have included low-key lighting which creates an eerie effect and shows shadows which create a high level of tension within the audience throughout their experience when watching the film, also the use of diegetic sound we are planning to include is going to create a tense atmosphere as well within the audience as we are going to use a lot of screaming and heavy breathing during the running scenes of the nightmare, the heavy breathing also connotes the fact that there is a chaotic atmosphere during this scene.
