Thriller Storyboard

Thriller Synopsis

The sequence opens with a view to a still, lay down body at the foot of a doorway. The face of the body is not revealed during this point, and during longer shots which do reveal the whole body are intentionally out of focus. Heavy breathing sound effects during this point emphasise the mysterious nature and gives an uneasy feeling. This immediately puts questions into the mind of the audience (How did she get there? Why is she so still? What do the sounds indicate?)

Following this, shots of an empty home in the morning show that something is wrong as people constantly try and contact the absent person. Dramatic music during this period of the sequence emphasis the unease and sets a perfect atmosphere in fitting with the shots. The part of the opener starts with controlled camera pans, zooms and stills until the tension builds to a head and the images increase in speed as they flash on screen and sounds become louder and intimidating. The previously seen character suddenly opens their eyes and breaks the intense image cycle of the house. They sit up to discover their unknown surroundings, and the film beings.
