Opening Sceneration - Miss Miller



The first scene within our opening thriller sequence sets the scene with a long shot of the tower and the surrounding forests and roads, during this scene no sound was used as we was only trying to set the scene and not evoke any specific emotions. This scene will then be followed by a young lady getting out of her car in a dark isolated car park after driving down the road seen in the first scene. Once again only the diagetic sound of the car door opening and closing was used as we want to make this first part realistic so the character becomes more relatable and no sound needs to be used to evoke emotions as it is a not relevant part of the narrative. The young lady then walks away from the car and leaves the car park with yet again no sound, as she does so, she is then followed by a masked antagonist who's is carrying a knife. As he closely follows her through the car park and out the exit the non-diegetic sound of suspense music is used to create enigma as the hidden identity of the antagonist leaves the audience wondering who he is and what his intentions are. We use a tracking shot to track both of them walking through the car park as it unsuccessfully shows how quick he was walking and suggested he was chasing her with intent yet she didn't know. Following this we use a long shot which shows the victim walking down a dark isolated path and then with no editing or cut scenes she is followed by the antagonist. We used a long shot as it successfully shows both characters and can successfully show the narrative. The non-diegetic suspense music continues over this frame as it creates suspense and makes the character appear more vulnerable as it suggests that he is going to do something bad to her. We then used a similar long shot to show the victim go through a gate

  1. This needs to be a DETAILED frame by frame recount of your storyboard, explaining the narrative as well as the cinematography, sound, editing etc. used at each point.
