Preproduction: Storyboards

 Introduction

Welcome Cambridge dream team! Today our group embarked on a series of storyboards linked and correlated to the previous blog post (shot list) and our group is now prepared to draw visual adaptations of  what we brainstormed. This assignment was completed by Peyton P and I, and our group members Marley B and Lexi M collaborated by sharing their opinions on the order of events in which each scene should occur. In the following storyboards, our group documents a brief description of each shot, the location, tone, composition, framing, camera angles, and movement, and shot size. 

REFLECTION:

Overall, our group gained a clear image on the bid picture that we envisioned for our film from the start, and our production team was ultimately satisfied with the results of these storyboards. To briefly sum up these images, in the first scene Christine wakes up next to her plushie with an image of Mercedes taped onto it, whilst wearing a bracelet that she stole from Mercedes (when they were younger and played the game "Trust Fall"), and then checking her laptop to watch videos of Mercedes. After the title slide, Mercedes vents to her best friend, Lizzy, about her worries about being around Christine and her speculation that Christine stole her bracelet, and Lizzy affirmed her suspicions. Lizzy, however, did not know that Christine heard their conversation while being in the same class as them. Later, Mercedes is followed by Christine to the bathroom, and then, left to go back to her classroom. Lastly, she horrifically discovered Christine torturing and threatening Lizzy with bloody fingers (getting caught red-handed) and Christine immediately dropped the scissors once she realized Mercedes saw her sinister deeds.
