Story boarding

During Last week's lesson we began practicing sketching storyboards. We focused the storyboard upon a movie opening from 'remember me' (a BBC production). Throughout the opening clip we pointed out many skills and tricks that we're used to capture a creative, intriguing beginning.
To recognize the types of shots and angles which we're used during the footage, we began taking notes and sketching out images to help boost our memories.

The beginning shots of 'remember me' we're mostly arranged in an establishing sequence. Until the first shot of which the main character appears. The camera pans up to analyse the characters facial expression, which sets the mood for the opening. A full shot suddenly appears when the character stands up and walks towards a mysterious picture of a young boy. The shot suddenly changes into panning images of the ocean. Not only did the shot change, however also did the intensity of the sound, which increased suspense. From there on images flashed between the main character and the mysterious scenery based upon a beach/ ocean. The final shot which we analysed was an establishing image where we watched an unknown character rise from the ground of the location which appeared to be a beach.
