This is my story board from my film opening task for my AS MEDIA. The story boa accompanied by description, and whether we added or deviated from it.

1. FILM OPENING STORY BOARD

2. PICTURE 1
Establishing shot: Point of view tracking shot
down the Church walk way. Camera stops
abruptly and then pans up to show Church
setting.
Deviation: Instead of panning upwards to show
the setting, we rotated the camera to reveal the
central protagonist in one of the pews.

3. PICTURE 2
Side profile of character sat in pew, close up shot of
feet, so you cannot see their face.
Deviation: Instead of a close up shot of the feet, we
used a mid shot, this was to show more of the body of
the character.

4. PICTURE 3
Over the shoulder shot of the younger version of
Christa sat in a pew.
Deviation: Instead, we had an over the shoulder
shot of the older version of Christa outside in the
graveyard, with her hair blowing in the wind.

5. PICTURE 4
Close up of crucifix to be apart of all of the religious
imagery and symbolism.

6. PICTURE 5
Panning shots of large stained glass window, followed by
other shots of religious imagery. E.g religious scripture
and candles.

7. PICTURE 6
Side profile close up shot of a the younger version of
Christa (central protagonist). Hair or hands obstructing
the view of her face, she’s crying but the view is not clear.
Deviation: Instead of having the girl crying, we had her
pray. This was to provoke a sense of irony once you had
read the overall plot outline and we also felt it was more
appropriate for the character considering the setting
they were in.

8. PICTURE 7
Close up shot of the older version of Christa in the exact
same position.
Deviation: Instead of this version being still and looking
down, as the picture shows, we had her pray like the
previous character. This was to highlight how they are
the same person but from different time periods and so
by mirroring each other, it helps to communicate this to
the audience.

9. PICTURE 8
Returns to establishing shot of looking down the
centre of the pews, down to the front of the
Church.
Deviation: This shot was not included in the final
cut, however the 2 proceeding shots are. This is
because we altered where these shots would be
placed within the film opening, in the midst of
editing.

10. PICTURE 9
The return to the establishing shot then dissolves in to
reveal the older version of the central protagonist. The
dissolve makes it seem like she has appeared from
nothing.
Deviation: They only thing we changed about this shot
and the next one are there placing in the film opening.
They are much closer to the beginning now.

11. PICTURE 10
Previous shot dissolves into this shot which reveals the
younger version of the central protagonist in an
identical position to the previous shot. The dissolve
makes it seem as though the previous version of
Christa has turned into the one in this shot. (Younger
one).

12. PICTURE 11
Mid shot of a cross on the wall, the cross the turns
upside down as the symbol of the ant-Christ.
Deviation: Ella and I decided against doing this as we
thought it would be disrespectful to do this with one of
the crucifixes from the Church. Therefore, this shot is
not included in our piece any longer.

13. PICTURE 12
Use the cross from the previous shot for the ‘T’ in ‘ANTI’. The
background will fade to black, then the title will fade out, leaving the
cross alone on the black screen.
Deviation: We were unable to use an upside down cross for the ‘T’ in
’ANTI’ due to reasons in the previous post.

14. ADDITIONS
In our storyboard there is no sign of any external shots. When we arrived
at the location where we were going to film, we thought that the
graveyard setting had perfect gothic elements that we wanted to include.
The weather of that day also reinforced the gothic elements as it was
extremely cold and windy due to storm Kate. We incorporated some of the
ideas from the shots in the story board which where internal to external.
An example of this is below.
