Research and Planning 5: Storyboard and Continuity

(It should be noted that in the video, a lot of time we say angle when we mean shot. This includes things such as mid angle and side angle (We actually mean mid shot and side shot))

Paper plan of our shots (1-26)

shots 34-40

The final scene was planned in more detail as we believe this final scene is important as here it will be where our audience decide to carry on watching.

12	JD appears to be limping (match on action of his legs will show the determination of this character as it will show despite his injury he is still willing to carry on and fight.

13	Spark appearing to be out of breath, stops behind a tree	Low angle, long shot	5
14	Spark leans on tree with his hands on his knees ( Spark will experience a blur in vision and as this is a POV shot which will help the audience understand what this character is going through and what he is experiencing. This will help aid their image of this character and how he is more vulnerable compared to JD.)	POV shot	3

20	Spark brings JD to the floor	POV shot	2
21	JD falling to the ground (A match on action of this shot will allow the audience to understand the further determination but also the struggle this character faces during the opening sequence. The match on action is to illustrate the pain this character is going through.)	Mid shot	1

(During the final stages the audience will be able to experience what Spark is experiencing as his vision blurs in a POV shot. After this JD will remove his mask and shoot again. But because of editing it will be hard to tell the fate of Spark as it will cut to black.)	POV shot, Close up	10
