Excellent progress on the film making, we now need the research evidence to support this, otherwise it will undermine all your good production work
  1. Skyfall images are far too big, these need to be corrected at home due to college system
  2. Production Schedule completed
  3. BFI data needs improving as there is no visual data/graphs
  4. No shots from the set, location recce, information on costumes etc - you could use screen grabs from the film for this

Task 6 Storyboard: Subject: X Storyboard





Scene 1 starts with a peaceful establishing shot to open the film. This is then interrupted by Subject: X and Chaser running in front of the camera to initiate the chase scene through the graveyard.









The chase scene continues for around 40 seconds through the town and graveyard. It cuts to a small image of Voice giving Subject: X directions showing only Voice's mouth and the microphone (indicated by the box).







This is a small map of the route to be used during the chase but will not be shown on screen, it is purely so we know the plan of where the chase is going.







After receiving instructions on where to run from Voice, the chase continues for a couple more second before Subject: X is backed into the corner and we see an over-the-shoulder shot of Chaser raising a gun at subject: X. The gun fires, hitting Subject: X before rapidly cutting to the titles.






The title screen simply says 'Subject: X' on a black background whilst non-diegetic audio of Voice trying to contact Subject: X is played over the top, for the duration of the title.







After the title screen, it fades in from white to show Subject: X in a bed and Chaser sitting on a chair watching over them. We also intend to use a dutch/canted angle here to add to the variation of shots in our product. The positioning of the camera, and actors in this scene are subject to change depending on the layout of the room used.




We plan on using another over-the-shoulder shot here but this is once more subject to change depending on the layout of the room we use. Regardless of this, we will have a focus pull as the Doctor enters the room to draw attention to the new character entering the film.






The opening sequence ends with dialogue between Chaser and the Doctor talking about what to do with Subject: X. Chaser leaves so only the Doctor and Subject: X remains and it fades to black, ending the opening sequence.
