Horror Storyboard 2

I've also chosed to post "Horror 2" by Josh Sheppard because in this storyboard he added some comments on the side which gives a better explanation of what is happening. In this second part of the storyboard he shows a lot of different kind of shot angles, and really shows the facial expresions of the actors, sometimes from a much nearer angle as in the shot in which "DAD" is shouting, we can see his mouth in a nearer angle. We can also see different types of shots, such as

• the aerial shot
• the bird's eye shot
• the low-angle shot
• the over the shoulder shot
• the point of view shot
• the two shot where two people are in the picture.

Horror StoryBoard

A storyboard is a panel or series of panels of rough sketches outlining the scene sequence and major changes of action or plot in a production to be shot on film or video.

For Example, this is a storyboard by Josh Sheppard: "Horror 1"

“Horror 1”

"The mandate was to not show any nudity-not sure why for an R rated horror flick. The water covering the actress after she sits up was to be a CG effect. I drew those particular frames tighter, since they would probably be used to get bids from different effects places."Josh Sheppard.

Observing the storyboard for "Horror 1" by Josh Sheppard, I noticed the way in which he uses a darker color to show where he wants a shadows to appear. Also, I've noticed he uses a lot of arrows to indicate the camera's movement, and to show movement of the actors within the shot. The Storyboarder uses shots of different parts of a womens face and then also shows how the shot will be from a middle or long shot.

Mise-en-scene St. George's College.

For the mise-en-scene task Carlos, Ramiro and I had to show though out a still or a series of shots how we felt about the school. The feelings we came up when we started sharing our ideas were traditional, natural, old and respect. After having an exact idea of what we wanted to show we walked around the school and found the perfect shot, the prep school. We first draw a brief sketch of what our still shot would look like. We chose the prep school because it is the most recognized building in the school, it is old and it is surrounded by a lot of trees which expressed the nature. Our shot was a long shot because this way we could capture the whole building and we chose a middle angle shot which shows respect and order because of the perfect symmetry. 

Mise-en-scene

a) The opening of the movie “The Rear Window” is excellent, it manages to tell the audience a lot about the main character with out using any dialogue. The background during the credits is a still shot of curtains opening which shows the beginning of something. In the case of this movie it shows the beginning of a brand new day. You can observe that the mise-en-scene is full of windows from different apartments and in the back of the shot you can see a small corridor which shows the street. The way in which the director placed or chooses the setting shows an enclosed urban life for everyone who lives there.

b) The camera, in the opening of the movie “The Rear Window” the camera starts moving forward and creates a feeling as if it is going out of the apartment and films the still shot from nearer angles, showing the typical neighbors (ex. A couple that fights all the day). Then the camera shows areas of the still shot at nearer angles. The camera finally, enters back to the apartment showing a sweaty man at a nearer angle which tell us that he is the main character. As the camera came out and then entered the apartment it can be said that the director is trying to show us everything in the point of view of that man.
