Frame 24

Lasts 2-3 seconds.

Frame 23


Frame 22


Frame 21


This will last between 1-2 seconds, it will zoom in on the characters. The quickness of this frame contrasting to the ones preceding and afterwards represent this as perhaps a memory of flash back of the girl in the apartment. A repition an earlier frame.

Frame 20


Frame 19


This shot will last between 8-15 seconds, it will have a voice over of the characters thoughts as she looks into the mirror, revealing characterisation and intialising a plot. However the dialogue and disortion using mirrors will still cause confusion and tension for the audience.

Frame 18


This will last between 1-2 seconds, it will zoom in on the characters. The quickness of this frame contrasting to the ones preceding and afterwards represent this as perhaps a memory of flash back of the girl in the apartment.

Frame 17


Frame 16


This shot will again be a quick shot however will break the repetition of the similar shots.

Frame 15


Frame 14


Frame 13


Frame 12


Frame 11


Frame 10


Frame 9


Frame 8


Frame 7



This will be 1-3 seconds long. It will show two characters fighting in an alleyway and will be repeated between the repeated frames of the preceding frame. We may add effects in the editing process to disort the frames.

Frame 6


This will contrast the frame preceding. It will be a fast shot and similar shots will be repeated in between similar shots in the alleyway. This frame is set after the events of the alleyway however showing the frames as if in the same time frame links the two events, connoting to an audience that perhaps this character is vommiting due to the events in the alleyway.

This shot will pan from left to right as one character walks into the alleyway and approaches the other. The shot will last between 4-6 seconds and will end sharpy just as one character reaches the other, before the action. Causing confusion and suspense for the audience.

Frame Four


Contrasting the shots preceding this shot will last longer. A long shot by panning, as the character as they walk from left to right. The length of this shot and the music we add will add suspense. We may also add the titles to this frame perhaps rolling upwards.

Frame Three


This frame will be in a similar quick style as to the two preceding, it will show someone lighting a cigarette and exhaling; again connoting stress or anguish. Following on nicely from the first two frames however contrasting the fourth which will be a longer shot.

Frame Two


This shot will be sudden and also fast and there will be an emphasis on the noise of the slamming door to show the urgency of the character.

Final Project: Picture Story Board



For the first shot we will a line of sugar which we will suck up a rolled up ten pound note, to represent someone taking cocaine. This opening image will connote to an audience how distorted the character’s mind is throughout. In the editing process we may use effects or colour changes, perhaps black and white; to emphasize this further.

Editing Progress

Today we finished the basic cutting and transitions of our film. We have been working on the editing for the past few sessions that we have spent together as a group, with little progress. Initially we found the editing program a challenge however after a few hours of practice we familiarized ourselves with the process and once we knew exactly what we we’re doing, we found the film started falling into place. The main layout of our frames in the story board has stayed predominantly the same. However we felt by adding a recurring frame from the “fight” in the “blue alleyway” in between the frames inside the apartment; as though flash backs of the protagonist, added to the fear and confusion. For our next session we plan to finish and perfect the cutting, record the protagonist’s soliloquy and upload and add the music.
