Group Storyboards

My group is Bettie, Malu and Myself. Before constructing our group storyboards we each made our own individual storyboards of the group narrative. This allowed for each of us to be creative in our on ways then see what we thought was good about each others. After looking at each others individual storyboards we worked together to make a main group storyboard, including all the best features of each others. I made sure we included to shot when someone walks up behind Bettie after she has killed Kane, as i think that will build tension which will ensure our film is in the thriller genre.

The purpose of having a group storyboard is so that everyone in the group has a clear understanding of what the narrative is, and how we are going to film it. The group storyboard gives us a basis to look out when we are film so we ensure we include everything we planned to
                                                      to include. We was inspired by the film Mama to use an isolated location this is why we went for the forest, as it is quite a freaky and a typical thriller genre setting. We have specifically came up with different camera angles in different stages of the film to highlight authority on venerability. An example of this is within our first five frames we have planed to use a high angle shot of the group of friends entering the forest, this is to outline the innocence of the group and also to insinuate the danger of the forest. Overall i think we incorporated everyones ideas well to ensure that our group storyboards had a bit of everyones help and advice to make it a group effort and an interesting narrative.


In conclusion the group storyboards will keep me, Malu and Bettie on track when we are filming our film. It also eliminates any errors that might happen when filming, for example going from a shot on a high road straight to the forest, as the audience may find it hard to follow, therefor keeping an order and planning it is crucial. I am happy with our storyboards but if i had to change something, it would probably be the amount of characters involved; as when it comes to filming if someone lets us down it could lead to not being able to film anything at all that day.
