JP: Storyboard Shots

 

These story board pictures are from openings and trailers of films in the horror genre that I like and could possibly incorporate some of the ideas into our own opening sequence

• The first picture is from the Sinister trailer
• It is a close up of a mans face and uses the reflection in his glasses to show what he is looking at.
• The completely dark background makes his face the only focus of the shot and it stands out against the dark background with the orange colour of his face connoting fire.

• The second storyboard drawing is from the opening of Zombieland
• It is a long overhead shot using the rule of thirds to focus the eye on the body
• Text overlays the image while also seeming to be part of the image

• The third picture is from the opening of The Woman in Black 
• It features a long shot of three girls standing in open windows
• The girls are framed by the window frame making them stand out in the image.
• The mostly dark image contrasts with the bright light from the windows

• The fourth picture is from the opening of Se7en 
• It is an extreme close up of someones fingers holding a blade
• The extreme close up reveals a lot of detail within an image that would not have been seen in a longer shot
