Storyboard one- Initial ideas

Order of shots used in storyboard:

• Long shot- Having the establishing shot as a long shot would allow the audience to see the location of where our film is set and also follows the conventions of a horror film, as usually the scary events occurs during night and in a spooky location, in this case the woods. It also suggests that the three people in the shot will have something to do with the film as they are in the centre of the scene.
• Medium shot- This shot involves the camera being half behind a tree trunk and the other half would be the focus pull, of the girls walking and gossiping. As the camera is half behind the tree, it creates the feeling at something is looking at the girls form behind, which is what we wanted to achieve. This would make the audience become intrigued and scared as they would want to know who or what this thing is. The camera would also fairly jerky panning from behind the tree and back, to imply that they are not trying to be seen.
• Close up shot- This allows the audience to see the expression and reaction of the girls face due to the noise she has heard. The girl in the foreground would be our focus pull, to emphasis her importance and allows the audience to focus on her. The background would be partially blurred, as the girls are laughing and drinking.
• Over the shoulder shot- This makes the audience feel as they are part of the film as they feel as if they are looking over her shoulder and in the her eyeline. This allows the audience to feel what the character is feeling due to her friends running ahead.
• Extreme close up shot- This would add tension and suspense as the noise has again repeated, this would keep the audience on the edge of their seats. This shot allows expresses the fear the character has as are breath is condensing in the air.
• Long shot- This long shot shows the audience what the character is seeing through her eye, (eyeline match), which allows the audience to again feel part of the film, making them feel their fear and anxiety 
• Close up shot- Having the close up of the hands would reflect the sheer panic and distress the girl is feeling which would build up the tension for the audience as they would want her to escape from whatever is behind her and causing those noises. The camera would also be jerky and unstable to represent the character running, which would make the audience feel as though they are the character running due to the eyeline match used.
• Close up shot- This shows what has happened and is a stereotypical element which occurs in horrors as when the character is escaping they always seem to fall or stumble. This would make the audience agitated as they want her to escape. The use of these close ups being in a row builds up tension as they do not show much to the audience. 
• Close up shot- Before this shot is shown the transition of it coming on the screen would be fade in and then fade out, fade in and then fade out, to suggest that it is through the characters eyes, which are startled on what has happened so keeps blinking slowly, trying to adjust her eyes. This would make the audience feel uncomfortable as they want to see what is on the character's hands and what the object is in the background of her hands. The camera would then adjust to show blood and her friends body all cut up in the background.
• Long shot- This shows the location of where she has landed but adds tension as they is a blurred figure in the background of the shot.
• Long shot- This shows the figure getting closer, adding tension.
• Long shot - and closer...
• Medium shot- The figure is still getting closer. These shots would be fairly quick to add tension and a scare factor for the audience. It would also add the effect of the figure jumping and jaunting towards the camera, which would be scary to see.
• Close up shot- This would make the audience jump as the shot before would involve a little pause at the end to make this shot have a scare factor, ( which follows conventions of a horror as involving scary elements to it). This shot would be very quick so it would scare the audience but makes the audience unable to see what it actually was.
• Title of film- This would suddenly appear on the screen to have a big impact on the audience as this would make it more memorable.
