Group storyboard- Miss Miller

In our assigned groups, we met and discussed our individual storyboards that we each had to make (mine can be viewed here) and talked about the strongest and weakest ideas. We took the best ideas and incorporated them into a group storyboard, which we will be able to use in the filming process. This is a positive way to make our idea a success and fit the conventional thriller genre. Lastly, the audience will engage with narrative if it is stronger and well planned, and a well planned storyboard makes the production run smoothly.

Amber, Jazz and I all added flashback scenes to our individual storyboards, therefore they can be added to our group one as we all believe that it is a strong ideas. Flashback scenes could prove to be quite confusing to film however, if they are added to the group storyboard, filming could run more smoothly, therefore we can spend more time on this, to work out any problems that the frames may cause.

Amber also added different editing styles which can be used to highlight the thriller genre within our opening and are more conventional to the thriller genre, therefore should be added. An example of this is the Kuleshov effect. This causes the scene to provoke a third meaning, which is more visually pleasing to the audience, therefore they are more engaged with the narrative and characters.

In mine and Jazz's storyboard, we discussed the use of lighting in great detail. As an aspect of mise-en-scene, this is important to incorporate. We discussed the different lighting that can be used such as 'low key' to show mystery and tension and the thriller genre, however high key lighting is used in flashbacks to highlight false hope and a sense of false normality.

After combining and cutting different ideas, we created one story board in which we all agreed were made up of strong ideas that were our best and came from our different inspirations of successful thriller films.
