PLANNING - ACTION SEQUENCE STORYBOARD

ACTION SEQUENCE STORYBOARD

Started: Friday 16th October

Finished: Friday 4th December

We first started our initial planning/ideas on the last day of half term. This session was our first major brainstorm for our film opening: generating ideas, planning characters etc.. 

After Half Term, we developed the main storyline and changed some of our scenes at the end of the film opening, as we faced some challenged in terms of filming due to the pandemic. So, we altered the locations of our film opening so that everyone who was involved (who are filming and directing) would be safe and are taking precautions.

INITIAL STORYBOARD

FINAL STORYBOARD

CHARACTERS, SOCIAL GROUPS & STEREOTYPES

 SOCIAL GROUPS & STEREOTYPES

SOCIAL GROUP STEREOTYPES: 

           1.     SOCIAL GROUP – YOUNG EX-CRIMINALS

The first social group we use in our fictional film opening includes young ex-criminals. They are serving their time by carrying out community service After they Have committed various crime. Thus, making them ex-criminals: although in the film we do not see what every crime each character commits; we see them working hard to Essentially redeem themselves from the criminal acts they committed in the past.

2.      SOCIAL GROUP (aesthetic) – PRISONERS

This social group is the stereotypical criminal in prison. These types of scenes will not be in our final film opening, however we wanted to show the type of criminals in prison and how they act in prison and outside of prison (when they are out). These images reflect the stereotype inside prison and what happens behind locked doors. 

3.      SOCIAL GROUP – COUPLES

This social group is for the end of the film opening where the love interest to Kevin is introduced. She is also a criminal, there is a shed of hope for Kevin to decide what path he wants to go to (his old ways or a better/positive life with his new love interest). This ending will help audiences build character relatability, as for many people there could be one person in their life that would change them to be good and be in a better place. This stereotype builds audience empathy, sympathy of antipathy very quickly, this last scene will end in a cliffhanger.
