Group Storyboard- Miss Miller

 Elements

The purpose of a group storyboard is to take individual ideas then to collaborate them to make a much better storyboard done by the whole group. This will undoubtedly be better than one done by an individual as it only take one persons opinion into account which limits the possibilities of our film clip

Ben Yarwood:

The killer always walking was one element that was take from my own storyboard. We used this as it makes the man less human with his movements and it seems to make the man much more terrifying than if he wasn't. Also it makes the victim more vulnerable in the way that she is running and is nervous and panicky which juxtaposes the way that the killer moves in a calm and fluid movement. This also makes the audience feel more uncomfortable as he is so robot like and gives them a surprise when he comes onto the screen yet does not run.

Another is the way that in my own storyboard the face of the killer is never revealed to the audience or the victim. This makes the killer much more threatening as you cannot identify him and the victim knows this.This makes the victim panic and therefore the audience will feel uncomfortable in the way that it could be anybody in the street so is making the actions on the screen feel more real and relate able. This will also make the part where the victim is murdered more unsettling for the audience in the end.

I also used a panning shot which was used in my storyboard. This was used in the the chase as it presents the idea of speed and panic which helps present the emotions of the scene. This is one way that emotions can be prented to an audience though the camera angle.

Beau Abery:

From Beau we took the idea of the setting being in a normal and familiar area that is deserted. This makes the killing more personal and has a feeling that it could happen on any street to anyone. When the killing finally happens then it makes the killing more personal to the audience and therefore makes the killing much worse to watch. Also the idea of it being in a normal area the audience can relate to building a relationship with the people who are there. Also the idea of it being empty gives the sense of hopelessness which puts people in more of a vulnerable position.

A second point that we took from Beau's is that we should use a big knife instead of any other weapon. A knife is much more dramatic than a gun and makes the killing much more brutal to watch for the audience so makes them feel more pity for the victim. Another reason is that it makes the killing much more personal for the killer and victim , if it was a gun the killer would not need to actively pursue and chase the victim, therefore leaving less of a chase scene and more hiding so less active for the audience.

Michelle Woods:

From Michelle's storyboard we decided that we should have both characters in normal clothes. This will make the victim seem more relatable and when she finally dies it will be more personal for the audience. Also the killer will be much more scary in the way that he could be anyone in the audience and therefore make people that see it more scared of the killer as he is anonymous among a crowd.

A camera angle that we took from Michelle's was the low shot of the shoes of the victim. As she see's the killer she start to run and then it goes to the killers trainers walking quickly on the concrete. This will show the mood of the scene without actually showing the faces.

Evaluation

Overall I believe our group storyboard has been a success in the way that we have pooled our ideas to create a even better one incorporating everyone ideas. We have used parts from all of the storyboard but some more than others to make a unique clip that we are all happy with and that we all think is good.
