Story Board

1. Establishing long shot of an empty house, a couple have returned from a trip. This helps set the location of the film. Pleasant music will be added in to the background, suggesting a calm atmosphere. The shot will last around 3-4 seconds, before fading to a black screen with a caption.




2. Caption will fade in to a black background reading: 'HOW WOULD YOU FEEL, COMING HOME...'
The next shot will fade in around 2 seconds after.

3. Medium long shot of a couple walking away from the car, up to the house. The weather should be sunny to tie in with the music. Shot ends by fading into black to reveal the next caption.






4. Caption will fade into a black background reading: 'TO AN EMPTY HOUSE? ' ('empty house should be in a bolder font to emphasise a sense of danger to the audience). Next shot will fade in around 2 seconds after.

5. Close up, showing a note left by a friend, who had came by to check the house. The note reading 'Everthings fine' is ironic because the audience is expecting something to happen. I have found this to be very typical within my chosen genre. Pleasant music slowly fades out, and the shot then fades to black with the next caption.

6. Captions fades onto the black background reading: 'THEN REALISING ....' The next shot should fade in around 2 seconds after.



7. Medium low angle shot of one of the main characters (the man) putting his jacket in the closet. The music should then changes to have a more eerie tone, as the 'killer' is seen roughly out of focus holding some sort of a weapon. By seeing the killer out of focus it helps to hide his identity, so that it doesn't give too much of the plot away. Fades to black with the next caption.


8. Caption fades into the black background reading: 'YOUR NOT ALONE' (Not alone should be seen in a bolder font, to again emphasise the sense of danger, and to draw the audience further into the trailer). The next shot will fade in around 2 seconds after.


9. This is a the start of a montage, with different shots from the 'film'. The first shot is a long shot of the women running through the lounge of the house. The music will have changed to a fast paced more thrilling song, to fit in with the rapid editing.





10. An extreme close up of the 'killers' knife, seen with blood on. The audience at this point doesn't know whos blood this is. Again there will be quick editing and fast paced music.







11. Close up of the man tuning his head quickly with a shocked expression on his face. The audience will automatically know something shocking has happened. This will draw them in to see the film.





12. Long shot of the girl running up stairs, with the killer walking behind her. The lighting should be quite dark, but still light enough to both actors clearly.






13. A medium long shot of the girl, leaning up against a door, breathing heavily. The killer can be seen at the side of the screen. Again the lighting should be dark, but light enough to see both the actors.









14. Medium close up of the killer walking and then he stops. The music will slowly starts to fade as the shot fades to black.










15.The title and the release date will then fade onto the black screen in a red coloured font. This will then fade out around 2-3 seconds after.
