Final Storyboard

Here is the completed, final storyboard, it has a few changes to the original one, which wasn't as well thought out, and after looking into what props and locations we were going to use, we could plan out the shots a lot easier, and what was going to be included in each frame.

This story is more professional than our first draft, as we printed of the outline of it so all the frames were the same size, and the whole thing is generally neater. We decided to change the order of the shots a little in this version as well, the kettle being turned on is now going to be our opening shot, we deliberately used a kettle with a red switch that glows. So the fact the opening shot is red switch being turned on and glow up is an indication of the danger forshadowed ahead.

The shots are lot more equal in this version. There is a parallel amount of shots for the both the interlinking stories. This creates a very fast pace, as the editing is a lot faster, this is a convention of most thrillers, to use fast paced editing, as it creates a lot of tension and pace. The compositions of some of the shots of the coffee have been improved as well, for example, the shot of the coffee being stirred is not just another bird's eye view shot of the cup, is at a slight angle. We decided to make a lot of shots from a tilted angle as it disrupts the normality of the scene, it shows there is something more going on than just someone making a a cup of coffee, this is conventional of a lot of thrillers to do so.

The final few shots are throughly more planned in this second version of the storyboard. In the original we had the idea of the zooming in onto the dead body at the end, but that was about it. This storyboard has four well planned shots of how we are going to shoot, so all in all, this version gives a lot better idea of what out final video will turn out like.
