Storyboard Timings

On the 18th October Morgan came over to my house to finish storyboarding and discuss timings for our opening sequence. We did this at my house because that is where we will be filming the second half of our opening sequence. After we drew the rest of the shots on the storyboard, we take about titles and timings.

We knew we wanted the titles to come in the second half of our opening sequence because we wanted the audience to focus on the first half as, if we were to finish the film, that part would be a huge key in the rest of the story as it is a flash forward. We decided to have the main title when the scene changes from the bathroom to the house. In the bathroom, the camera zooms into one of the girls eyes, then she closes her eye. The title will appear over her eyelid, fade away, and then she will open her eye and the camera will zoom out and she would be at home.

For timings, we timed how long 4 seconds were just so we had an idea of how long we should spend on each shot. I then worked out that we have 24 shots, so if we spent around 5 second on each shot, it would equal the 2minutes required. So we then put timings on each shot, and once we did that we added it together and it only came up to 84seconds. We decided not to change anything else as we would do that with the third member of our group, Yasmin.

We then wrote down potential names for this film.
