Group: Storyboarding - Initial Ideas

MM:
Storyboard 1

This features:
 - Medium shot.
 - Balanced image with the siren on the right and the panel on the left.
 - Camera tracks inwards at a slow rate. Impending doom.
 - Room has tones of blue and purple and green, contrasting the flashing red lights.
 - Red lights connoting danger.
 - Low key lighting.
 - The woman would be hitting the door.
 - The room is filling with gas and it's getting more cloudy through the small window.
 - Some gas is seeping out from under the door and the sides. 
 - This would be a long continuous shot, starting from just after it closed, when she would be hitting the door hard and nearly cracking the window, to later when the window would be cloudy and it would be dead silent.

Storyboard 2

This features:
 - Close up shot.
 - Similar to the close up of Janet Leigh after her death.
 - But she is still alive, only barely, heavily breathing.
 - A figure emerges from the corridor.
 - The broken door of the closet can be seen with smoke coming out of it.
 - Dutch angle at 90 degrees.
 - Slight handheld motion.
 - Shallow depth of field to isolate the character and to obscure the other.
 - The blood is dark.
 - She is mainly backlit by the sirens and shady corridor lighting.
 - Brightened and contrasted eyes to show the characters emotions.

Storyboard 3

This features:
 - Medium Shot.
 - High angle, showing vulnerability and danger.
 - Shadow of man appears from top left.
 - The woman can be seen crawling upwards on frame through the window, out of sight.
 - The smoke moves smoothly across the floor from the door frame.
 - Shadow moves down the frame while the legs crawl up the frame.
 - The corridor has multiple lights so there are other lighter shadows beside the main shadow, making him seem more threatening. 
 - The flashing indicates a constant sense of fear.


TK:

This features:
 - A medium close up shot.
 - Slowly tracking towards the left and across the scene.
 - The shot is framed in darkness, with the only light source being a round neon wall lamp in the background.
 - This casts shadows upon the man held hostage and casts a silhouette of the detective when he opens the door.
 - This gives the shot an eeriness to it.
 - The hostage is stereotypically seen as subordinate to the detective, whose presence in the frame denotes his power.
 - The movement of the camera connotes how the audience are peeking into the detective's personal life as they see a glimpse of his home, before the door is slammed and darkness returns to the shot.
