Individual Storyboard- Miss Miller

Storyboards are extremely important to use when creating an opening scene. From storyboards, the group is able to visualise what the scene would be like and what we want it to portray and the message that will come across to the audience. Each group member created their own storyboard based on their own ideas, and what they believed made a thriller sequence a success. This is a positive way to show ideas, as each member has the opportunity to introduce their own ideas through their own inspirations. After created individual storyboards, the group is then able to combine different ideas from the strongest in each storyboard. From doing this, we are able to make a storyboard that include all the aspects that make the strongest/most successful thriller sequence.

Below, I have included my own storyboard. I filled this with my own ideas and opinion of what makes a successful thriller sequence. I have incorporated different sound techniques that are conventional to the thriller genre such as eerie music. I also gained some of these ideas from my inspirations an example of this is Scream as it includes hidden identity and lonely and isolated settings, gaining a reaction from the audience.

To conclude, as a group we will combine all ideas together and note down which storyboard turned to be the strongest. From doing these story boards, we have added our best ideas and how we would personally want the opening to look. Overall, I believe that my story board is successful and is a positive representation of different aspects and conventions within the thriller genre. However, I believe that I could have expanded on different details such as sound and lighting which will be discussed within the group. I also believe that I could have added in more shock and suspense as the audience reaction as apposed to suspense, as I believe that is focuses on too much in my storyboard.
