Planning Script & Storyboarding

In this session, we continued to plan the script that the production will follow. The script we planned concentrated on what we specifically wanted the audience to understand or know from each particular scene. We wanted to make sure that the audience understood what was going on without giving away too much information as there would be a twist to the story at the end.

We also began to construct the storyboard which we would plan each individual scene  that would be appearing in the A2 Production.

• During the first scene that we planned we wanted to show the main character (the ex government agent) and his wife happily at home stating that he has quit his job in order to stay and enjoy his life with her. (This will be the over the shoulder camera shot focusing on the main character) 
• In the second scene we wanted to have the wife smiling  (also with the over the shoulder shot) to the news which the husband has just told her. 
• In the third scene we wanted the wife to walk down the stairs (medium shot) and begin to get ready to go out when there is a knock on the door. (medium close up)
• In the fourth scene you will see the wife start walking to the door to answer it (medium shot)
• In the fifth scene, the wife will answer the door and began to scream (Medium Shot)
• The next scene will see these people at the door all dressed in black. (Medium Shot)
• In the seventh scene we wanted the wife to begin running back in the house with eventually the kidnappers capturing her (medium shot)
• The next scene will see the wife being dragged on the floor out the door (Low Angle Shot & Point of View)
• In the next scene you will see the wife being dragged outside her house by the kidnappers (medium shot)
• In the next scene you will see that the kidnapper rings the husband in order to ask for an exchange for his wife. The kidnapper will be demanding money and government papers (close up)
• In the next scene we will see the kidnapper and the husband with the witness meet up in an industrial estate
• The husband passes over the money and papers but the witness realises that the wife is not even there (close up)
• A fight breaks out between the kidnapper and the husband , with the husband eventually running away with the witness (over the shoulder & Long shot)
• The couple are seen running in all different locations (medium long shot)
• The wife is in a room where the kidnappers are keeping her stating that her husband will come for her (Close up)
• The husband along with the witness eventually find the wife
• The wife is holding a gun which she first points at the kidnappers but then points at her husband
• The shot cuts to black and there is a gunshot

Me and my group also worked on the script which we planned in detail to make sure that we gave the audience the right impression of this film. We also wanted to make sure that the dialogue gave out a certain message to the audience without giving away too much of the whole story. This would hopefully make them want to watch the film after they have seen the film trailer. Here is the script that we have planned out ;
