Initial Storyboard

 Welcome backk everyonee. Today we are going to be going over our first story board for our film opening that we titled Chasing Perfection. A lot of these ideas you can see in my previous post but the others are were made up along the way. Emily was more of the artist while I brainstormed the ideas. Me and Emily are terrible drawers so we tried to make it more descriptive. We tried our best...

These first two shots is the beginning of our film. It not really that clear from the picture, but the film is going to begin in black and there will be a J-cut of the alarm beeping interrupting the black, then a ECU of an alarm clock and a hand turning off the clock. Shot 2 will be that establishing shot of the MC getting out of bed. you will only be able to see the back of her head as she gets up.  

Here you get to see of the MC getting ready and revealing more of the room from different angles. We also want to capture the her moving frantically around the room. Shot 4 sets up a later joke of her tripping on a shoe but is not drawn. 

Here is the first time we see the MC face and supriseee (it Emily!!!!)  The film will have no speech and will be just sighs and groans, which was made to make my life as the editor a little easier but thinking about it now it may be more challenging then i thought. Shot 6 shows the MC tripping on the shoe again and then it throwing against the wall (shot 7)

We are going to use a whip-pan as she throws her shoe to the wall and from her arming being up she will smell her armpit and that will begin the invisible cut to the bathroom which will be our second location.  

I couldn't separate these 4 but they are all the bathroom scene and mostly out of order. It begins with her cleaning her armpits. And still not sure if it going to be over the shoulder or POV or from the mirror, but based on our situation when filming, we will determine which looked better. She runs a rag under a faucet (which will will reveal more of the location such as tooth paste in the sink etc) and wipe her armpit from under the sweater. Then as she puts down the rag and spills a open bottle of pills. From there she get some water from the sink in her hand and drinks a pill from the counter, then she brushes her teeth and when she goes to spit out her tooth paste, her head will begin a transition that her head will cover camera and then end up back into the bedroom 

From here it was really hard to figure out what to do but basically she put her shoes and then the camera follows her to leave the room and as she leave the alarm clock chimes again and the camera goes back to show the clock and Chasing Perfection is on the clock. The main thing im worried about is timing. Im between thinking we are going to run out of time or have too little content so when filming i want to make sure we are following a good timeline.
