Storyboard/and initial synopsis


To summarise the initial idea for our narrative, the protagonist is a 16-17 year old boy who we will depict as a kind of recluse/socially inept character. His only real form of social interaction is through the use of social networking, which as mentioned in previous posts, plays a vital role in the story because he experiences a form of cyber-bullying which puts the boy into a state of manic depression/anger. In terms of what is drawn on the storyboard, we have the boy stealing a bike from his antagonist as a way of getting revenge. He messages the other boy telling him to meet at a storage facility where his bike will be found. When the antagonist arrives, he sees his bike and enters the storage unit. In terms of the ending, we currently have the idea of the storage shutters closing slowly and moments later blood will begin to seep out of the gaps in the bottom. This part however is very much subject to change because we have thought of several different possible endings; one thing we do want is the antagonist to be killed but our plan is to record several different endings and decide on which one we like the most. 



In terms of the storyboard itself, we designated one person to draw in our group which wasn't myself because unfortunately, I can't. Instead, my job was to describe to my group what I wanted from each shot in terms of camera angle and shot type. Unfortunately, this storyboard perhaps lacks in a certain amount of depth but this is mainly because our original storyboard and narrative was not approved by our teacher, so we had to redo it in a short space of time. This storyboard was approved by our teacher but of course it is subject to change.
