Pitch Story Board

This is the storyboard for our pitch called, 'Solo'. Though we altered the storyboard a number of times, we have come to a final decision for it to come out like this.. (Hopefully)

PICTURE 1
A part of Christel's body will be shown at an extreme close-up, for example her foot or hands with car keys, whilst she gets out a car. The purpose of this is, we have decided to hide the identity of the villian which will add tension for the audience.

PICTURE 2

We have decided to use a 'false plateau', of where different shots of Alima (the victim) and Christel (the villian) are on the phone, so the audience assume they are talking to each other...

PICTURE 3
... However, as Alima walks past Christel (at an over-the-shoulder shot), Christel comes off of the phone and watchs Alima which begins to build suspense and breaks the 'false plateau' that they are on the phone to each other, as, unlike Alima who is still on the phone, Christel is no longer.

PICTURE 4
Christel will be shown at an over-the-shoulder shot following Alima and then whilst she places the bin-liner over her head. A close-up of this process will be shown and a slow-pace editing will be used to reveal what is going on. Still to this point, the face of the victim is not being shown.

PICTURE 5
From the previous shot, the next shot will be of pitch darkness, yet non-diegetic sounds of heavy breathing and a tap dripping or a tiemr ticking will be played to create tension for the audience awating for the next shot...

PICTURE 6
The lights will flicker on to reveal the victim at extreme close-up's...

PICTURE 7
This is an extreme close-up of the victim sweating because they are nervous/fightened..
During this, the soundtrack that we would have created will be played whilst heavy breathing will be heard..

PICTURE 8
An extreme close-up of the victim's feet tied to the chair is shown (the victim will attempt to move to try and escape yet they are unsuccessful)

PICTURE 9
The shot will then go to a title sequence reading 'Starring .. Alima' as the main character..
The red or white writing will be on a black canvas and will appear with an effect and zoom in. It may be placed in the corner or in the centre..

PICTURE 10
More extreme close-up's will be shown including the hands shown..
The victim will be trying to move their hands and will make 'struggling' noises to establish how trapped she is...

PICTURE 11
This is a title sequence which reads, 'Co-starring... Christel'; this too will have the same effects as the previous title sequence(s) but will appear in a different corner

PICTURE 12
An extreme close-up of the digital timer will be shown at '00:20', this puts the audience in an uncomfortable postion as they wonder what will happen when the timer reaches '00:10'

PICTURE 13
Another title sequence is shown reading 'Directed By... Christel, Sammie, Dionne & Alima' with the same effects, fonts and colour as previous title sequence(s) but shown in a diffeent corner of the canvas

PICTURE 14
This will be anothe extreme close up of the digital timer, yet in a different position and with a different time to show that time is going... Non-diegetic sounds of the digital timer ticking will be used to emphasis on the timer and the relationship is has with the victim

PICTURE 15
A title sequence of 'Filmed By.. Dionne And Sammie' will then be shown with the same effects and fonts as previous title sequence(s) yet in a different corner of the canvas..

PICTURE 16
Another extremem close-up of the digital timer will be shown at a different angle and reading '00:06'

PICTURE 17
An extreme close-up of the victim's messy hair will be shown.. this shows the audience that they have been through a lot of hassle from when they were walking to now...

PICTURE 18
The camera will zoom -out to reveal the victim in the chair whilst they shake the chair as much as they can in order to try and escape from where they are.. They visciously look around and shake with a concernd or scared facial expression

PICTURE 19
More extreme close-up's of the timer counting down will be shown, but as the time decreases by 1-second, the shot will get closer and closer, whilst the non-diegetic sound of the ticking gets louder and louder...

PICTURE 20
The name of our pitch will suddenly appear just before the timer gets to '00:00' with serif-fonts reading 'SOLO'. A loud effective sound with an echo will be used. The writing will have a shadow to highlight the importance and boldness of the writing and to add more suspence for the audience..
