Storyboard: edited version & our final plotline

Storyboard: editing version 

After reviewing our first storyboard we decided to change parts of our film opening. One of the major changes to our story line was the addition of a 'Youtube'-like beginning, where the main protagonist is filming herself (using a handheld shot). This is accompanied with a screen overlay of the 'REC' sign, we decided to include this because it is extremely common and modern to be 'vlogging' on youtube and other social media websites.

• We added several glitches and CGI effects from start to finish
• We cut out some of the 'boring' and tedious scenes where it could make the film opening quite slow.
• More tension and suspense was added by a scene of the killer preparing to 'kill' the character
• Tracking shots, extreme close ups, high angle shots and neutral shots are still included in the film opening
• We also included the title at the end of the opening 'The Unknown'
• Originally, we were going to name the film 'Ignotis' which is Latin for 'The Unknown', however we decided to scrap the idea because it would be difficult to explain the origins of the name.
• As mentioned in our focus group post, it was highlighted that our narrative was unclear therefore we redesigned the story board to make it more clear to the audience
• we decided that the main protagonist (Rachel) should also die and therefore is 'forced' to vlog her own death.  

Our final plotline:

The plot for our story is as follows:

• A young teen is 'blogging' her day and it is implied that the girl is a successful youtuber
• since she is an internet sensation - it is clear that she relies heavily on technology
• she talks about her boyfriend coming over and the planned day
• door bell rings, she makes it to the middle of the stairs
• power cuts off
• audience see blackness & hear panting
• young teen is forced to 'blog' her own death
• scenes of struggling by the young teen
• killer is seen, and has also killed her boyfriend
• montage of bf death and fast cuts of killer with glitches will be shown
• killer walks out of killing location (garage) 
• turns head and you can see the killer 
• (film title inserted after this)
