At the beginning of the film I wanted to get a clear establishing shot to show the character's surroundings. This way, I would also be able to tell the audience about the time of the day (I wanted to show that it was 11am). I thought it was also important for the audience to get a clear view of what the student looks like, I have done this by adding a close-up shot of his face as he is walking. The audience need to know he is a student and not an adult or teacher. For my fourth shot, I thought about cinematography and what would look the most interesting/ visually pleasing. Therefore I had the idea to do a birds-eye view shot of the paper on the student's hand. Next I added a POV shot, of the student unfolding and reading the paper. An over the shoulder shot is effective when the character is reading the paper. It foreshadows something bad is going to happen. Once the figure appears in the background is the moment the audience knows something awful is about to happen. I wanted to create this kind of effect. Using the rule of thirds, I had "Teen 1" on one line of the grid and "Teen 2" on another line of the grid, but in the background rather than the foreground. Using aperture, I wanted to create a follow focus for shot 11. I wanted his hands to be in focus and then his face be in focus. When it actually came to filming, it didn't work so well because it didn't look natural.
Overall, I am very happy with my storyboard but if there is anything I would improve on it would be spending more time on my drawings to make them look more clear and also add more detailed descriptions to make people reading be able to understand my thoughts more well when filming the film scene.
