Development towards first Story board

In order to get an idea of what I wanted to cate for this title sequence, I began by deciding that it was going to be for a series and not a stand alone film. This was mainly because I have been inspired by a lot of sequences for TV series, and I think I can represent certain aspects of the story in this way. If it was for a film, I would be more restricted.

I had so many ideas in my head for what to include, so I thought it would be wise to list the main parts of the story that I wanted to include. I also made a list of audio clips I had the ideas of using, having a clearer idea of the possible audio made it easier for me to pick out specific imagery in my mind. I then listed in order the key frames I wanted to include so I could then go ahead and put my first idea of a story board together. (I was already aware this wouldn't be the first!)

First Storyboard

Through out the sequence, I want it to keep snapping back to constant movement from the house, as if it coming from the eyes of somebody else. That is why there is constant movement through the hallway, down the stairs, and through the garden. The titles included through out this sequence will be dotted about, not shown on their own, because I want to constantly be building the environment of the story in the viewers' minds. I have included a range of camera angles, for example the frame where the 2 painting are on the wall, I like the idea of that being seen from slightly below, because it gives a sense of authority to the paintings and gives them an element of intimidation even though they are just paintings. Also, I have included a closeup of the body bag being zipped up, because I like the idea of people having to think about what they are seeing, I don't want everything to be clear at a first glance. 

After presenting this to the class, and after further thought I know I will need to produce a more detailed, altered version of this story board, along with an animatic to show how long each section will last for.
