Here is a brief description of each shot:
Shot 1: I will use Abode Captivate to record a computer screen of my character's; Lee Oliver's Facebook page. I have created the account and got some of friends to add it, and therefore this will make it look authentic. A straight cut will be used to travel to the next shot.
Shot 2: This is a medium shot, to show who is scrolling through the Facebook page. The character in this scene represents a sad, depressed looking young man. This will be filmed in my living room.
Shot 3a: The camera begins to pan round the living room to reveal 'Lee's Girlfriend' sat on the sofa opposite. She is sat on her phone, both in silence. This shot is supposed to represent their dysfunctional relationship, and put across that technology, in a way, has ruined it.
Shot 3b: The camera will pan back around, back to Lee Oliver (the main character).
Shot 4: The scene cuts to, supposedly another point in time, perhaps I could shows this ellipses with a fade-to-black transition. Part of my film is showing various scenes in which technology are ruining, and this is why it is not a linear narrative. This is a long shot of the two characters walking along the street, both using mobile phones. I have not yet decided on an exact location for this scene, yet I was considering a busy local high street.
Shot 5: An over the shoulder shot of the two characters taking a 'selfie'. I wanted to include this shot, as the younger audience can familiarise with it.
Shot 6: Lees Girlfriend, then gets her phone out again and walks away. This will be shown by a long shot.
Shot 7: An over the shoulder shot will then show Lee uploading the picture to Facebook , titling the post 'love walks with my girlfriend', or something similar.
Shot 8: A straight cut will switch scenes, in which my main character will be in a work environment. I will film this at school, but set up a class room so it looks like an authentic meeting room in an office. This is a low level shot to show the inferiority of the character
Shot 9: The camera will pan around to show the staff in the meeting all on their phones and/or laptops. This will be shown by a long shot, therefore I can get the extras and backdrop in.
Shot 10: An over the shoulder shot, shows Lee walking out the presentation room, updating his Facebook status as 'love my job, presentation went so good'.
Shot 11: The scene then switches again. This shot will be filmed at a local nature reserve park. A Long shot of the main character 'going for a run'. He will be in gym clothes and phone in hand.
Shot 12: The phone is shown as a match on action, when he is running.
Shot 13: Back to a long shot, character stops running and sits on a bench.
Shot 14: Medium shot shows the character on a bench taking a picture.
Shot 15: A close up will show the main character uploading the photo to Facebook.
Shot 16: A straight cut will switch between scenes again. This time the camera does pan throughout the shot, of the main character all their friends sat on their phones. This will be filmed in the school seating area.
Shot 17: The camera shows a medium close up, that then pulls in on the characters face.
Shot 18: An over the shoulder shot will show the character alone, back in the living room on his laptop
Shot 19: Using adobe captivate I will record the screen of the character deactivating the Facebook page.
Feedback: When showing this animatic storyboard, there were no major alterations that I needed to make. The only issue that arose was that the length was too short, however I did not change this as I felt it still represented a true view of each shot that I would use. This animatic will be helpful when I begin to film, as it provides a guideline to how the film should look.
This is a useful animatic, Amy, and I could get a sense of what you are trying to achieve. However, it ended very abruptly and is only 40 seconds long...
