This is our original 'final draft' storyboard, since we have been editing some of the framing and positions of the shots have altered slightly to make it flow better but the narrative is the same.
The trailer will start off with the typical trailer conventions of the "green screen" and the production company logo (which we have already decided will be Paramount). We are then going to open with establishing shots of London and short clips of the book and of the girl. The polaroids are then going to flash up gradually with the speed increasing as the trailer plays. At this point we are hoping to have our voiceover of the news reader playing and the end of the voiceover will coincide with the shot of the killer turning off the radio.
We are also going to include close up shots of the girl's clothing and also different shots of different pages of the book while our killer is looking through it. More of the polaroids will flash up, still in chronological order so they are building up to the last girl who will be 2015. We are also going to include POV shots from a passerby which frames the girl on the street. We also have a shot of our killer leaving his house, although this has changed to a close up shot of his hand on the door handle.
We found that filming a shot of trains was proving to be too complex so we have just changed that to an establishing shot of the river and we are including it at the beginning instead to set the location for the film. We are then going to have more shots of our girl and the killer along with the polaroids which are quickening up. We are also going to place our actors credits near a shot of their characters and they will interrupt the footage, it will be shown long enough for the audience to read but quick enough to help build up the pace of the trailer towards the end.
At the end of our trailer we have a upwards tilting shot of our killer from the POV of our victim, stopping just before the audience would see his face, which will be interrupted with the rest of the polaroids and close ups of the book. Originally we wanted to flash up the polaroids consecutively from 2007 - 2014 really quickly to form the climax of the trailer and then have a extended shot of our killer to calm things down before the title is revealed. Now we have merged it so that the shot of our killer (which was going to be taking off his hood but is now just folding his jacket collar down) plays with the 8 polaroids flashing throughout and then the final '2015' polaroid is placed into its position in the book. Since creating this storyboard, we have also changed our idea for the credits which will now be animation style with the words flashing up line by line. The title and the information screen will now be the last frames in our trailer.
