Task 33: Rough Draft of Storyboard 1

1) The aim of our Title Sequence is to start off with an independent label title that we created, 'CandiMedia Productions'. This will be an animated title which we want to have buildings in the background.

2) Our second shot is of another independent label we created 'SchoolBoy productions'. Again we want this to be text on moving images of the bottom part of some flats with a bike on the floor. We want the credit to pan in from the right and sit on the floor of the moving images.

3) The third shot is moving images of the block of one of the characters called 'Marcus'. Outside the blocks in the same shot, there are a group of boys in a gang standing outside. A crew members name will pan it from the left.

4) The fourth shot is a moving image of a canal where our characters hang out. A crew members name will appear panning in diagonally from the right.

5) Again in the fifth shot, the same canal at a different angle, a crew members name will pan in from the left.

6) This shot will show the house of another character, 'Elijah'. We can hear voices of him and his mother having an argument with his mother, straight away it zooms in and pans down to the door.     

7) In the seventh shot, Elijah walks out and slams the door - then the film title (Influence) appears.

8) The next shot is of Elijah standing outside the door facing the camera. He has his hood on and his looking down. This will be a closeup shot of his face.

9) We then want a long shot of him walking down the stairs of his block - establishing that he lives in a flat

10) The next shot will be a back shot of him going down his stairs.

11) In the next shot we have a mid shot of Elijah walking through his block and soon passes a group of hooded thugs. We will be able to see the block of flats in the background.

12) In the next shot we follow him to an Off Licence with a long shot.

13) Meanwhile, in this shot, the other boy Marcus is inside the Off Licence buying cigarettes.

14) As Marcus comes out, him and Elijah who are already acquainted from school, meet outside. Elijah tells him about what happened at home, Marcus offers him a cigarette to overcome his emotions.

15) The next shot is a close up shot of Elijah putting the cigarette in his mouth.

16) We then have a close up from behind - Elijah putting his hood up and they both walk away together.
