Storyboard...

After today's lesson, we were asked to do a storyboard but format it in a particularly different way - we had to draw pictures on sticky notes and then scan/film the drawings as if it was our final piece in still images on film. This I will later upload when we have finished it but it's the finishing part that this post is about!

We have a basis of a storyboard in our minds and a concept we have all agreed on as a team and really like the sound of...

but it felt like we weren't exactly clear on what we had to draw, angle wise when it came to today so I thought I'd just do a quick bullet point list of the shots and angles we have discussed but not come to a final agreement on, basically a sum up of all our ideas - and when me and the rest of the group come together, it gives us something to work off of to finish this task:

  • Shot of femme fatale - crying, distressed, hands on face, from a highish angle at an almost side profile angle - as if from the corner of a room but as high of an angle - TITLE OVER TOP.
  • Femme fatale looks up - past camera, eyes still.
  • Close up of woman's face.
  • Flashback to her in bar/café with two friends - table in view, drink and the shoulders of her two friends either side. Facial expression - none, looking into nothing - 'sense of being trapped' - camera zooms out; see one of her friends putting on her make up - one talking to our femme fatale. Shot stays for a few seconds.
  • Shot of friends exiting café, kissing goodbye
  • Close up shot of our femme fatale saying good bye to her last friend - kissing her on cheek - she catches a glimpse of something.
  • Eye line match - our anti hero, standing up against wall, smoking - possibly a tilt, from foot to head.
  • Possible close up of different features on our anti-hero - clothing, oil stains on vests.
  • Close up of mouth smoking and blowing smoke. 
  • Close up of eyes
  • Shot of friend leaving our femme fatale - in view; her chest upwards, on one side of frame, her friend walking off in distance on other.
  • Long shot of her standing on cobbled street - she catches herself, establishing her femme fatale character once more.
  • Moving object shot - femme fatale walking into the shot past our anti-hero still up against wall.
  • Shot from anti-heroes eyes, watching our femme fatale walk past.
  • Shot of femme fatale from in front, seeing her intentionally ignore anti-hero and rummage in her bag, walking quickly.
  • Shot of lighter falling.
  • Close up as lighter hits floor - slow motion.
  • Long shot, as if from the café entrance, looking onto where femme fatale has just walked - anti hero in view, picking up what femme fatale has dropped and in distance, femme fatale walking away still rummaging in bag.
  • Shot of femme fatale rummaging in bag, gets out cigarette holder and looks for lighter.
  • Shot of anti-hero; bent on floor. 
  • Shot from other side of anti-hero standing up [camera moves up as he does] and lights cigarette with lighter - taking another toke on his cigarette - puts lighter in pocket - beginning to walk quickly away from camera and towards femme fatale.
  • Shot from front of him walking towards us with femme fatale in view - ''this yours miss?'' - see femme fatale half turn.
  • Shot from side profile [long shot] - seeing his hand outstretched handing her lighter - she takes the lighter, lights her cigarette looks down at his feet.
  • Tilt shot, showing femme fatale giving him the 'once over' - ends with shot of anti heroes face where he says: ''where you off to?''
  • close up of femme fatales face - ''is it any of your business?''
  • Shot of anti heros face - ''no but you can't blame a fella for being interested can you,'' - his eyes look over her.
  • Close up of femme fatales face - ''What's your name?''
  • Close up of anti heroes face - ''Your interested [grin], ######''
  • Close up of femme fatales face - ''Oh, no, just being polite.''
  • Close up of anti heroes face, - ''What's your name? See your not the only one with manners''
  • Close up of femme fatales face - ''No? Well I've got things to do, I might see you around.''
  • Long shot of femme fatale walking away from anti-hero.
  • Close up of anti hero - takes a toke on his cigarette and looks away to the side of him - an intended way of making him look as though he's not interested but seeing if anyone's seen what's just happened.
  • Close up of femme fatales face walking away - a toke on her cigarette and a smile.
These are all initial ideas I have come up with, the next time we meet - these will probably change a great deal - hopefully this will have a huge help though!

NOTE: These ideas went down a treat and we are sticking to the write up of this I did at home! We did discuss the speech and alter it slightly after conferring it with the teacher we edited it to seem less cheesy.
