Thriller Animatic + Our revisions from the storyboard plan.

To create a rough basis on what we were going to do for our thriller, we had to create a storyboard. This storyboard would tell us the length of the shots we used, the basis of the shot, and then sound effects and music we used in that shot. We then had to create an animatic of the storyboard, to give a rough basis as to what the film would look like. 


Shot 1: 
- 6 seconds, 
-Camera shot/Framing : Over the shoulder shot, from alarm clock, person laying in background. Maybe use pulling focus, alarm clock in focus first, then pull to focus on the man, as he reaches for the alarm clock. (In our actual thriller opening, we used the over the shoulder shot, but unfortunately couldn't use the change in focus, due to the fact that our camera did not have the correct settings)
-Sounds: Silence at first, then the alarm goes off, and just as the man taps the alarm, the upbeat music starts and the sound of the alarm stops. 
Shot 2
-2/3 seconds. 
-Camera/Framing: Close Up of feet moving into slippers. 
-Sounds: Backing music still plays, and the diegetic sound is hidden. (We kept the background music, but decided to make the diegetic sound audible, otherwise the beginning of the thriller opening looks too much like a music video, and the sound also adds emphasis on the actions).


Shot 3
-3 seconds.
-Camera/Framing: Close up/mid-shot filmed into mirror while the man brushes his teeth.
Sounds: Diegetic sound of man brushing his teeth, background music still playing.


Shot 4
-2 seconds. 
-Camera/Framing: Medium shot, angled down, as the man opens the drawer, pulls out a knife, and cuts the apple in front of him. (We did not stick to this angle, due to the fact that it looked unrealistic, so instead, we decided to take a side on angle, placing the camera on the table, so that the audience are at eye level with the apple, in which the main character cuts)
-Sounds: We still hear the background music, and the diegetic sound of the drawer opening and closing, and the  apple being cut. 


Shot 5
-2 Seconds.
-Camera /Framing: Mid shot of man spraying himself with cologne. (we decided to remove this shot, due to the fact that our thriller opening was reasonably long).
-Sounds: We hear the sound of the cologne being sprayed and the background music. (we removed the sounds, due to the fact that we removed the clip).


Shot 6
-3 seconds
-Camera/Framing- mid/long shot, maybe angled downwards (shot from stairs)
Sound&notes- Man adjusts himself in the mirror, before walking to the right, opening the door, leaving and closing the door behined him. Diegetic sound of door opening/closing included.

shot 1 - 6 is to be repeated twice, getting faster each time, clips being cut shorter each time.
