Storyboard | Draft 1

After completing some research for our short-film as well as delivering a our pitch towards our secondary audience, we have successfully generated a first draft for our storyboard. We selected our ideas after researching through the ideas of my short film list I have watched, the Pinterest Moodboard I had created to gather ideas for key themes to explore in our short film as well as deconstructing a passage from a opening of a successful film.

The storyboard is illustrating the main protagonist who is being held hostage by a gang from a syndicate that are asking for a key to extract information from a secret location. Despite the protagonist's refusal of giving in, the leader eventually arrives to the scene and increases the tension in the atmosphere by threatening more with violence. The protagonist eventually escapes from the scene in a car and a car chase begins. The protagonist escapes from near death after loosing the syndicate between a train track crossing which leads to the protagonist being able to live another day and keep the key he still holds.

The first draft has given us a foundation solution to our storyboard and we are planning to next make a animatic which will give us an insight to how our film will be presented. Shortly after making our first draft, we will make another more refined draft of our storyboard with added details such as camera angles, location shots, time lengths etc.
