This section is demonstrating the storyboards I produced that represent the story of my short film. The first storyboard represents the first scene for my film and so on for the additional screenshots. It was fairly difficult to produce these storyboards as I wasn't completely sure of the resources I would be able to use for my film, however as you can see, not all of the shots that have been included in my film are demonstrated here as I added several frames to my piece during the film process.
Storyboards
These storyboards represent how I would like to interpret the story I have come up with for my short story. Looking at them, there are a couple of shots that I will add into my production during the filming process, however these frames summarise the different angles I will be using. When first filming Ivy, the care crash scene will be fairly quick, therefore not a lot of shots are required. Nevertheless, I will take repeats of each frame when filming, in order to give myself a variety of frames I could use. I intend to use a lot of establishing shots to set the scene clearly to viewers. However, during the more intense moments, especially during this crash scene, I will use a extreme close-up on Ivy's face to show a reaction shot of what has happened to her.
For the "rewind" scene, I will add an effect to the clips that reverses them, playing back all the clips that I will show in forward motion. This is to create the effect that all of the things that could've happened to her, are taken back and her potential is gone. For the car crash scene, I plan to use a crane when filming Ivy lying on the ground. This way I can capture her in a full frame, which will help to set the scene for audience members. I have used a lot of medium close-ups as I want to make it clear to audience members what is going on in each scene, it is very important that they are shown what could've happened if she had lived. Again, I plan to use establishing shots for a lot of these frames to clearly lay out to audience members the different things that could've happened to her. When Ivy first meets her love interest, I plan to use closer medium close-ups to show viewers their reactions to each other. This will will be done through medium close-up reaction shots.
The above storyboard mainly shows the shots I will be capturing for the montage scene. Establishing shots are mainly used in order to show the audience a clear cut of what each event in her life could've looked like. Most of this lighting will have one studio light to it, apart from the shot which are filmed outside where only natural lighting will be used. This is in order to maintain the natural feel to the scene, to create a more genuine effect on each frame. When filming at the church, I will be using establishing shots to show the scene of the church. This will be done through long shorts, showing the couple outside the location after they've "got married". I plan to use medium long shots as well during this, in order to develop a montage scene so I can use a variety of different angles. Portrait shots will be used when showing the pregnancy scenes, however when switching to the "this is what could've happened" scene, I will be using medium close-ups to make it clear to viewers how she could've got old. I thought these shots would provide a more peaceful atmosphere for this scene as well, which would suit the calm character in this scene.
I have decided to end the film showing Ivy when she is lying on the road again. This is to conclude the film and show audience members that she wouldn't get the chance to experience any of the clips shown because she hadn't made the right choice. This will be captured again with the crane and conclude with a close-up of Ivy. This is to leave the audience with a powerful message. At the end, I plan to use the crane shot I will capture of Ivy's whole body, which then zooms into an extreme close-up, to leave the audience with the message that she won't be able to experience any of the things that could've happened.
