Research Post 11 - Storyboarding

 Hello, and Welcome back again! This time, I'll be outlining the six major storyboards for the project - Shots, angles, and the script will be outlined in this post. 

For the first scene, The camera should start off with a closeup of the character's face, as he enters the garage/storage room. It should be dark, and he's holding a flashlight that only partially lights the room. As he enters, the Camera zooms out. Only ambient sounds can be heard, accompanied by only a shrill violin - the floorboards creek, the shadows shift. Behind boxes and under tables, only a purple tint can be plainly seen mixed in with the inky blackness. A sound is heard as something shifts behind.

In the second scene, the Camera is taken from an over-shoulder point of view. The back of the character's head is obscured - only the flashlight offers the reprieve from the darkness. We only see asinine antiques, dusty shelves of bits, bobs, and all other manner of odd ends and whatnot, scattered about. The character holding the flashlight moves his head around - the camera makes the appropriate 180 turn to the opposing shoulder. Again, only inconsequential items, tokens and trinkets can be seen. Alongside them, sewing kits, dolls, and other rather unsettling memorabilia from a time long past. Sounds of shuffling can be heard. The character swings his flashlight around again.

In the third scene, the shot is finally taken from our assailant's point of view. Carefully concealed from the light, we see the character's back and feet, as he sweeps around the dark. The camera slowly pans to the right. The character takes a few steps back, before turning back around and advancing further into the darkness. The flashlight sweeps over the camera's position. Only partially it is illuminated; the shadows the flashlight casts keep the villain and the camera hidden. The Character moves on.

The fourth scene is taken from above. A dusty, dinky fan spins, covering the camera momentarily every so often. Below, the character rummages through a pile of trinkets. He's looking for something. The flashlight has been put down as he does so. It partially illuminates his body, but in the inky blackness, movement. He stops, hesitating, and reaches for the flashlight. The character backs away, and debates leaving - turning for the exit... But, after a moment's hesitation, decides to advance only a slight bit further, having spotted the object he was looking for.

The fifth scene is another over-shoulder. We see the character, preparing to open a box. He sets the flashlight down to illuminate it. The music cuts out - only the ambient breathing and the dusty fans' slow spin are audible. With a deep breath, the box is opened.

The sixth and final scene set us within the box as it opens. The cast shadows keep only half of the Character's face illuminated, but we can clearly see the contortion of horror as the Camera rapidly zooms in on his face. After that, it cuts to black...

... And, that's about all for the Storyboarding plan! Let me know what you think; I'd really appreciate some honest commentary on my skills! Until next time, though.. I bid you Adieu!
