our story board has come together, i am
able to move certain shots as we have them on paper sketched up and can cut
them out and move them. we made a rough copy first. this was just a few pages
of rough idea’s all scattered and pretty jumbled up. this enabled us to get all
our idea’s down on paper and then move it around.
it starts with a news interview in a tv
screen reporting about the gangs being taken down by a mysterious figure who
appears to have a cowboys appearance. As this slowly zooms in we switch to
building suspense shots of this character not seeing his face. shots of a gang
in a bar who grab in someone and start beating him up in the bar. whilst this
goes on it will have a mash of quick moving shots and then slower one’s with
credits on. this shows our characters relaxed approach and power over the more
chaotic style of the gang. we continue till we see him enter, we do not see him
kill the gang but we do see how calm he is entering to do it and afterwards.
we asked our audience what they expected.
they responded with horses and to be filmed at dusk. they wanted lots of
action. we adapted our storyboard to finish with a scene at dusk of him
practising his shooting. very clique but its a western it’s going to have some
punny moments.
our beginning is very focused on building
our character and the genre. with out audience questionnaires and interviews we
adapted to show what they would like. with a horse being out of our budget we
changed to have at least 1 shot of a stable where we see our character
relaxing, at least showing that he has a connection to horses and pay and
interest. we think that this is good to have as it makes our character a deeper
person and therefore the viewers can get more of an connection to character.
looking at lots of credits in western
films they always have very big red writing. hopefully we can capture this in
our opening but it will require a lot of work to make it look neat than just
out of place, but with some changes in contrast and brightness of the red it
can look very good.
