Drawn Story Board (1min)

As part of our planning for our final assessment piece, we needed to draw a 1 minute long storyboard. This 1 min has got to show all the basic shots and approximate shot lengths. I decided to take the 2nd minute of our film.
The storyboard begins with our main character sitting in her chair watch the home video that her mum left her. However, for some unexplainable reason the screen freezes. This first shot is then followed by a close up of the victims face, which shows confusion. This is followed by a shot where she goes to the television to see why it has stopped working. She tries to press play on the remote, however this doesn't seem to work, so she unplugs the TV and walks out the room.
The second half of the storyboard starts with our victim deciding to leave to go to her mums grave. This is shown by a 'mid shot' of her walking to the front door from the living room. This is -followed by a 'mid-close up' of the victim picking up a bunch of flowers and her keys from the table next to the door, to indicate that she is going to her mums grave. After this we get a shot of her leaving the house and the door shutting behind her. We then get our first sense that there is something not quite right in the house, because as soon as the victim closes the door, the TV turns back on and continues to play even though it has been unplugged. We are then left with a close up of her mum finishing the home video with a message that reveals something shocking to the audience. After the scene at the house, we go straight to the graveyard. This is shows with a long 'long shot' which tells us where the next scene is taking place, and also reveals a strange figure who has just come from the victims' mums' grave wearing black.
