Storyboarding for Charlotte. Evaluation

Isabella Woolger, Magan Havard and me started storyboarding for our thriller opening sequence 'Charlotte' . This process is very important because our project needs more broad ideas and we have to actualize them.Storyboarding is the process of drawing out shots we have to take, it's kind of a plan which helps us to put everything in order.

This way, we understand what props we need, who can star in and how long the thriller opening sequence will be. Also, we include the setting, shot type and what's going on in it- this is very valuable information because the sequence has to be fitted in timing and placement and we have to find these.

We didn't spent a lot of time thinking about the title and in 5 minutes decided that the
main character name will be Charlotte and the thriller will have the same name, to help the audience to concentrate all attention on hero.
We have decided to make our thriller not very intense from the
beginning so first shots are very relaxed and there is no tension and the audience would not suspend anything.
However, the scene would be set in one room and people act in would wear sunglasses. This unusual detail will attract mainly all the attention of viewers. So, the plot would be not understand by the audience till the end of the sequence, they will guess and we'll make them think about the atmosphere in this room and these people in sunglasses by different types of shots. We' ll show that all characters are usual people, with habits and interests in life. The next detail which the audience will notice is that Charlotte, the main character doesn't wear the sunglasses and this would be the second guess. People would make predictions about the end which will surprise everyone by its queerness.
The most important thing about making the thriller is the timing and shots types we have to use and pay a lot oaf attention to, and this would be easier to do if all the work will be done in group.
