Storyboard (Horror trailer)

This is the storyboard showing the narrative that my group and I have decided on using for our horror trailer. We have created this storyboard as it will allow us to remember important scenes when filming our trailer.

Group Narrative (synopsis)

This is a rough mind map showing the idea's that my group and I have come up with. We have also set up a shared one drive document so that the narrative can be written with input from the whole group and can also be accessed by all three of us at any time.

We compacted our narrative in to 20 bullet points as instructed by our teachers. We found that this enabled us to have a clear understanding of what we were filming. Doing this also prevented us from forgetting important parts of our narrative as the bullet points acted as cues

1. (Present day)- in colour the opening scene shows female antagonist Emma in a therapy session with Dr Johnson. - Over the shoulder shot
