Script for animatic storyboard

First shot: So from this shot we see an over the shoulder shot showing the kid holding the picture of his mother and himself, this begins to show his emotions flow and the audience is supposed to see this. The focus will go in and out of focus as the camera moves around him. In terms of editing the fades into the opening will be slow and the music will begin before the visuals. This helps us create the desired dark shot we want. On this picture the name of both the characters will be seen, as this is easier for the audience to understand. The lighting in this shot will be moderate however in post productions we will make it look darker; this goes for all scenes within the hut. Cut to second shot.

Second Shot: This shot is a close up of the sons face, showing little background. The audience will feel a close connection to the character (hopefully), feeling sympathy toward him. The shot will be taken from around about where the photo was being held by the son. No transition just a cut.

Third Shot: This will be a long shot from the upper of the building if possible showing the characters on the floor. As the son gets up it will show his weakness. We will probably place the title text here, ‘Eye for an Eye’. The character, the son, will walk over to his mother.

Fourth Shot:  This shot will be a high angle shot of the mother and this will portray the pain that she has been through and it will hopefully be effective at creating a lot of emotion and begin to reveal a little bit of the plot. Cut to fifth shot.

Fifth shot: This will be where the son moves towards to his mother and this is close up again of him, but it turns into a flashback and the son moves slightly.

Sixth shot: This flashback will be a millisecond view of a farm, possibility in change of the colour correction for this scene. Light flashes in and out of the scene.

Seventh shot: This is essentially the same shot as the fifth shot however the expression on the sons face will be very confused. However he will continue to move into his Mum.

Eighth shot: This is a low mid shot from the side, which will show both characters. The son character will walk onto the shot and he will then fall to his knees in weakness and lack of motivation. He then crawls towards the Mother character who is cramped in the corner. Cut to 9^th shot. Speech in this shot between Mother and Son, this is going to be the Mothers last words to her Son as she dies of Polio from paralysed respiratory system and failure to breathe and she did not receive the vaccine due to being locked away.

Tenth shot: This is a long shot of the character, Son, having a panic attack and he is attempting to punch walls to escape as his Mother has just passed away from Polio. Potentially to use a blur as a transition however likely to just use no transition and just cut to eleventh shot.

Eleventh Shot: This shot is going to be a close up of the lock, it’s going to be a pull focus from the lock to the Son in background as he notices the lock and recognises an escape route.

Twelfth shot: This is going to be a Point of View shot where the character is searching for an item on the floor to break out with and pick the lock. The characters hands will be in the shot to back up the POV feeling. As he finds the paper clip, he clams his actions as he has found a hope to escape. Cut to 13^th shot.

Thirteenth shot: This shot pans up from the floor, following the key as it lifts up in his hand. The camera will be facing him however the focus will be on the paper clip and the audience will just see a blurred background. Cut to next shot.

Fourteenth shot: Close up of lock picking, there will very little in view or focus other than the lock. Should be a short clip. Can incorporate a POV shot into this. Cuts to next shot

Fifteenth shot: This shot will be a long shot of the door opening and the characters silhouette in the arch way. Cuts to next scene.

Sixteenth shot: Pan following the character falling to the ground, shows his relief and happiness to have escaped out of his evil fathers hands. As he walks out of the door and falls to his knees the camera will crab or pan and follow him. Cut to next scene.

Seventeenth shot: This shot is over the sons shoulder and it shows him raise his head and view the field that he will eventually escape to. Cut to next scene.

Eighteenth shot: This shot is going to be a side on shot that will pan, showing the character running toward the field to escape. Cut to next scene.

Nineteenth shot: This then turns to a close up of the characters face running toward the field showing his hope. Fade or cut.

TIME LAPSE

Twentieth shot: This shows the character now leaving the field that is by the road. However we are not sure if this will be entirely possible due to locations and wether we can find one a location that falls within our requirements. If we do not find somewhere then we will just skip this shot. If we do however we will fade transition into next shot.

Twenty-first shot : This shot will have a close up of the son character who is lost and confused in Norwich and this will hopefully be using a rig mount upon the chest to stabilise the image as seen in JME's music video.
