For my main story board, I planned it in my book first, planning what shots, music and what I wanted my characters to do within each shot. It was very brief and had little detail. Once I had finished, I got two or three A3 storyboard pages and wrote out in detail every shot, once I had finished I went back and drew images to represent what would happen in each shot. I have decided to write up my storyboard in full as well as a paper version.
Shot 1: Title screen, black background, white text, sans serif font, text fades in; 'Three Lions Productions present...' fades out, and colour fades into next shot.
Shot 2: Fade into establishing shot of town centre, people walking and talking, music is quiet in background, voice over: 'What if not everyone was human?' Fades into next shot.
Shot 3: Fade into wide shot, this time movement is slowed to reflect what is being said. Voice over: 'That they are more different than we realise...' Music still quiet so voice over can be heard, fades out and into next shot.
Shot 4: Fades into a close up and camera slowly zooms into the main characters face, voice over; 'That there were others.' Music starts to build up quietly, cuts to next shot.
Shot 5: Title shot, black background, white text, sans serif font, fades in; 'From the director of Loanshark...' text fades out. Music starts getting louder, shot cuts to next shot.
Shot 6: Pan/aerial (?) of location, setting the scene/introducing setting. Music still building up and cuts to next shot.
Shot 7: Medium close up of first main character Stephanie, camera slowly zooms in, she turns towards the camera, hair swishes. Music is still building up, quite loud at this point. Cuts to next title shot.
Shot 8: Title shot, black background, white text, sans serif font, text fades in; 'Megan Phipps' text fades out, music is loud in background, cuts to next shot.
Shot 9: Close up of second main character, introduces this character, camera slowly zooms in, music is quite loud, nearing climax, shot fades into title shot.
Shot 10: Title screen, black background, white text, sans serif font, text fades in; 'Curtis West'. Text fades out, music still building in background, shot fades into next shot.
Shot 11: Pan/long shot of characters running, they are constantly looking behind them, panicked, heavy panting, music starts to climax, quietens when voice over starts; 'What if you had choose?' shot cuts to next one.
Shot 12: Title shot, text fades in, black background, white text, sans serif font; 'A story of love and heartache...' text fades out, music still loud, this shot fades into next shot.
Shot 13: Two shot/slow zoom, two main characters close together, each has their hand on the others cheek, faces slowly move closer together, music becomes softer, voice over; 'Between the one you love...
Shot 14: Medium shot/reverse zoom, Connor gets taken away, he struggles against the person taking him, camera slowly zooms out as he is pulled away, music becomes slightly more dramatic, shot fades out.
Shot 15: Fades in, close up of main character Stephanie, her reaction, music quietens slightly as she speaks; 'NO!' music gets louder, quick cut into next shot.
Shot 16: Wide shot, fight scene between Stephanie and the 'others'. Music quietens slightly for voice over; '...or saving the entire world?' Music gets louder again, quick cut into next shot.
Shot 17: Quick cut in time with music, long shot and camera zooms into second main character, music reaches climax, quick cut into next shot.
Shot 18: Master shot of 'others', they slowly walk towards the camera, music still in time with cuts. Quick cut into final title shot.
Shot 19: Final title shot, black background, white text, sans serif font, text fades in - 'The Choice' 'In Cinemas November 2014' '#thechoice' 'www.thechoicemovie.com' Music stops and fades out.
I should note that since writing this post, I have actually changed my main story ever so slightly, by adding in a few more shots and changing others, I have reviewed my first draft of my main storyboard and felt that some shots needed to be switched and that some needed changed and/or removed.
