Animatic Voice Over

Hello and thank you for watching my storyboard animatic. Firstly I would like to explain that due to the nature of my film and the locations used for filming, it wasn’t possible to take pictures of all the scenes before I started filming (although whilst filming I used my drawn storyboard – as can be seen in the pictures on my extras page) so before I start to edit my film I have used screen shots from the footage I have recorded to produce an animatic.

Shot 1 This is a fairly high angle shot – fade from black of a boy asleep in bed, he seems peaceful

Shot 2 Mid shot – same boy wakes up sharply – wide eyes then fade to black Shot 3 Fade from black zoom out to show a different boy stood looking at a wall

of pictures of the boy from the previous shot – fade to blackShot 4 Back in the first boys house, walking from his room across the landing

to the stairsShot 5 Match on action – boy reaching bottom of the stairs – we see the post
