What's up, followers! If you were keeping up with my blogs, you may have come across a post about my storyboard for my short film opener. Even though the storyboard hasn't changed, I wanted to share more details about it.
Basically here is a rundown of my storyboard:
1. Normal Late Night Scene
- Extreme close-ups of phone screen
- Main character scrolling through various social media (TikTok/Instagram)
- Room filled with snacks and drinks scattered around
- Calm lighting from the phone screen and lamp
- Steady camera movements
2. Something Feels Wrong
- Wi-Fi signal starts dropping
- Apps begin to not work
- Medium shots showing the character's confusion
- Wide shots revealing dark empty houses and empty street
- Mysterious message appears from an unknown number
- Stable camera movements
3. Things get creepy
- POV shots to show the main character's perspective
- Rapid camera cuts
- Glitch effects to portray an eerie vibe
- A dark hooded figure is shown, rapidly intensifies
- Failed phone calls
- Phone dies
- Final moment of complete darkness
- Title sequence
My film will use various extreme close-ups of the phone to create intimacy and detail. Wide shots will be used to establish isolation. Medium shots will show the character's reactions. Lastly, point-of-view shots will put viewers in the character's position. I believe these varieties of shots will help tell the story visually.
