Storyboard shot ideas


  • One particular shot I would like to use a tracking shot, similar to that of  the short film ‘Elephant’. The idea of the tracking of ordinary people travelling about their daily lives fits perfectly within my story. The shot will be used when detective Cruz is walking the streets of the city, going towards his crime scene.
  • In the film ‘connect’, the film uses low level lighting. With my screenplay being based around the noir genre, the use of low level lighting would be ideal, due to it being such a convention of film noir. The low level lighting should also bring a certain atmosphere around the whole film, being mystery and suspenseful, another convention of film noir. ‘High maintenance’ is also another film that uses shots of low level lighting, particularly within the dinner scene. this too created an atmosphere of mystery, as the audience were almost thrown into the deep end with the story of the couple having dinner. This atmosphere would also be ideal for my film, as it would allow for the mystery to be unravelled throughout.

CRUZ comforts her some more, resting his head on top of hers, briefly enjoying the moment when SUSAN barges through.

SUSAN scurries towards the desk trying to look for space when the files in her hands fall to the floor. Huffing She bends down to the pick up her files. SUSAN Cruz, I’m so sorry, these just need an arrest report. Where do you need them? CRUZ moves out of DELILAH’s embrace to help SUSAN pick up her files. CRUZ Susan, it’s fine. Leave them over there and I‘ll try to get them done by the end of the week. CRUZ and SUSAN finish picking up t...

Winter’s bone Essay

How far does ‘Winter’s Bone’ rely upon an understanding of its social context? Refer to at least one sequence in detail     In the film, there is scene of a ‘showdown’ between Ree, Teardrop and the local authorities. The rule of thirds in the beginning of the sequence shows the two sides of the family in the car; Ree wants answers for her dad and teardrop wants to put it to bed. Regarding the social context of the film and a message that is portrayed throughout it is that there is no such thing as questions. If someone has disappeared they have disappeared. This is effective in the way that the rule of thirds helps the audience to truly visualise the dynamics of a Missouri family living in the Ozarks where the family loyalty is the strongest.     When flashing lights appear behind the car, Ree tells Teardrop to pull over and ‘see what he wants’. Teardrop becomes reluctant. This is because the Ozarks are a place where the men are dominant, what they say or in this...
