RESEARCH AND PLANNING - Storyboards and summary

After developing and redeveloping many story boards, we have finally come up with what we hope to be our completed running order.

Our first simple draft of our original idea can be seen below:

"Runaway - Quick cutting shots of a girl packing a large rucksack (tins of food etc, before a photo, shot of her freezing as she stares at it before shoving it in the bag, then finally her hand hovers over a penknife on the table, she picks it up and is about to put it back down again but changes her mind and shoves i tin the bag) Fast miss matched shots of her doing up the bag and tightening the straps before swinging it onto her back. Close up of her hand grabbing the car keys off counter and then shot of the door slamming, sound echos and pic fades to black

"Runaway 2012" flashes onto the screen in the silence.

Our final plan, after many alterations:

Summary:
Girl hurriedly packing a rucksack (black and white/dark colours)
Flashback - Happy shot – the girl introduced to a guy (in colour)
Blank black screen and Caption – “She thought he was a dream come true”
Cuts back to Back to Bag packing
Happy shot – picnic (first date)
Pic fades to black, 2nd Caption – “but even the sweetest of dreams…”
Bag packing shot – voice over – mans voice “do you promise to stay with me, no matter what?”
Flashback - Happy shot – sofa, TV, take away etc – girl, you see her reply to him “forever”
Picture fades - 3rd Caption – “….can form your worst nightmare”
Music becomes darker and foreboding – shot of his hand drawing a knife from a draw
Cuts back to Bag packing, quick miss-matched cuts of her running round the house – finding items
Sound of sharp knocking on the door, shot of the door, with her in the for ground, turned towards it away from her back, frozen in terror, the knock comes again
Suddenly the Phone ring other side of the room making her jump
Close up quick shot of her phone on the counter before a shot of the girls face, white, confused and terrified, image fades but the sound of the phone ringing continues as the words “Runaway 2012” flicker onto the dark screen
