research & Planning: Storyboard

shot 1. A close up of Grace running past the camera- this shot really emphasises the menacing look in Graces eyes.
shot 2. Establishing shot
shot 3. establishing shot of the gym
shot 4-9 mid shots of characters walking
shot 10. graphic match shot- these two shots link together to create time change from the couple meeting to their wedding night. This shot is perfect for the scene, it is an easy transitition and the best way to show the time.
shot 11. close up of cup
shot 12- 13. mid shot of Ryan eating his sandwich at the gym
shot 14. close up of food
shot 15. close up of face
shot 16. mid of ryan walking to bed
shot 17. mid of grace walking to bed
shot 18. POV shot of pillow- this shot is typical of a thriller, POV shots show the view from the victim
shot 19. mid shot of grace putting pillow down
shot 20. close up of alarm
shot 21. close up of hand with knife
shot 22. close up of hand chopping meat
shot 23. close up of ryans face
shot 24-25. match on action walk through door
shot 26. mid of eating at table

shot 29-34 mid shots of attack
shot 35. mid of kitchen
shot 36. close up of clock ticking
shot 37. ryan alone.

CHANGED SCENE>>>
Ryan walks ups stairs with a mid shot. runs a bath and gets in. close up of his face submerge under water. A series of 'reality' scene of what really happens among quick shots of Ryan hanging like Jesus. He then gets out of the bath and continues to shot...

shot 47. mid of Ryan eating pills
shot 48. grace walks back in. sees whats happening
shot 49. close up of dropped shopping in slow motion- this shot will emphasise the shock of Grace, and the religious theme as the apple falls outs.

NEW SHOT
shot 50. close up of apple rolling to the pills.


We chose to change the scenes after we had created the storyboard and animatic. We felt this is a more appropriate ending. Which also gives symbolism and more meaning throughout.
