1. Storyboard of Opening Sequence

2. Frame 1 – Under Water Scene
• This will be our very first shot and this will be of
girls's face underwater from where she is being
held under by the antagonist. The shot will be a
close up shot of her, so we can see her facial
expressions and how much distraught she is.
• She will be trying to scream and shot but the
sound will be muffled as she will be underwater,
and this will mean the picture will be distorted.
• We will try and record this by placing a phone in a
water tight sandwich bag so we can get
underwater without our phones being damaged.

3. Frame 2 – Setting the Scene
• The next shot will then be where we first meet the
antagonist and we can see him in full. This shot
will be a long shot so we can see the surrounding
and understand where the opening sequence is
set. We will also see how the characters are
positioned in the shot.
• We will have the antagonist behind girl whilst
gripping her head by her hair. The next action that
will happen is that the antagonist will push the girl
underwater again as he is trying to extract
information out of the girl.

4. Frame 3 – Close up of Girl
• We will then cut to another close up shot of girl's
head going into the water. She will be screaming
and shouting and then as she enters the water she
will then go muffled again.
• We will see the hand on the bag of the head so we
can understand what is going on.

5. Frame 4 – Searching for Information
• The next shot will then show another antagonist
searching around the house and in rooms trying to
find out information out. These will include a
variety of shots that consist of close ups of his
hands looking through documents and pictures
and the long shots so we can see where the man
is.
• We will then add some non diegetic sound from
the other room of Emily screaming and shouting
as the man looks for information.

6. • After the shot of the man looking through the girls
possessions, we then go back to the bathroom
scene with along shot from behind of the girl and
this is where we can also see how the characters
are positioned.
• There will be a lot of shouting and the girl will be
crying and unsure as of what is happening.
Frame 5 – Long Shot

7. Frame 6 – Police Phone Call
• We will then have a ‘split wall effect’ of the
bathroom and someone in the house next door.
They will over hear the screaming and shouting,
and will then call the police.

8. Frame 7 – Mid shot: Angry
• Oblivious to someone calling the police the
antagonist then carries on drowning the girl trying
to find out information.
• Although this time the drowning is for a lot longer
and more violently because the antagonist is
getting more and more annoyed.

9. • They then start to hear police sirens and the start
to panic. One of the antagonists then runs into the
room asking what to do, and the two men have a
little argument as they are both annoyed and
angry that they haven’t got what they came for.
• This will be a long shot so we can see all three
characters and we can see that the girl is severely
injured and breathing heavily.
Frame 8 - Argument

10. • After the two men fight one man smashes the
girls head on the edge of the pass so she passes
out with a deep cut. This could caught with a close
up shot.
• The two men then start to run and try to get away
without leaving evidence as to what happened.
We could have non diegetic sound in the
background of police sirens getting closer and
closer.
Frame 9 – Passing out

11. Frame 10 – Running away
• The final shot will then be off the two men
running away in the darkness. Our initial idea is
that there will be a low shot, so the camera at
ground level behind the men, so it is sort of like
the men are running away into the darkness.
• This creates suspense to what is going to happen
next and makes us want to watch on and see what
they were trying to find out.
• After they have ran off into the darkness we could
have a fading effect to a black screen where we
could add in the title of the actual film.
• That would then be the end to our opening
sequence.
