STORYBOARD PLAN

This is my first draft of a storyboard plan, heavily inspired by the opening sequence of The Usual Suspects.

RESEARCH

To think of storyboard ideas for our main project, I have researched into more openings.

THE USUAL SUSPECTS

I looked at this opening sequence as, while it is simply shot, it is very effective. Throughout most of the sequence, there are no actors on screen at all, nor any dialouge. The dark atmosphere of the scene is established entirely by the fact that the scene is shot at night, and also by the soundtrack playing throughout the opening.

This opening has hugely inspired the first draft of my first storyboard plan.

Make sure that you meet as a group – come and find me if you need to discuss anything, or need a room/computers to work on before Fridays lesson. You must be prepared to film by the end of the week, this will mean having a script & storyboard – if you want to film before, or need to use the drama studio, make sure you come and talk to me!
You are now being marked on your organisational skills and planning
