Planning Edit

First shot:
Over the shoulder from the kids point of view. This camera angle would help to show the audience the characters emotions towards the photo. Fades in slowly and later than the music. Colour correction makes the scene darker than normal. This would help create the desired look and would help set the scene of our thriller. Cut to the second shot at the end of this first shot. The character name of the mother will appear on this scene with the picture of her.

Second shot:
A close up shot, showing only the characters face. This will show the emotion the characters face and the ordeal he is going through. The lack of objects in the background, just the sky, will show how lost and abandoned he is. There would be a clean quick transition as no fade would be needed.

Third shot:
Long shot/birds eye from the farm with the character in the distance. Showing his weakness as he gets up.  The titles text will appear on this scene. Blur transition to effect the change in range.

Fourth shot:
High angle shot of the mother. This will portray the pain that she has been through. This will be effective as we are able to create a lot of emotion within the opening scene. The transition again will again be a quick clean cut.

Fifth shot:
Close up of the child character.  Quick clean transition.

Sixth shot:
Flashback longshot of the farm. Very short duration. Change in colour correction for this scene. Light flash in and out of this scene.

Seventh shot:
Back to the fifth shot, flash transition into it from the flashback.

Eighth shot:Low mid two shot from side of both characters. The child character walks onto the scene and falls to his knees shows his weakness and lack of motivation.  Crawls hands and knees towards mother who is cramped in the corner. No transition into this scene.

Ninth shot:
Extreme close up of mother speaking into the characters ear.  Clean cut transition.
- Same angle and shot without the mum in the scene.

Tenth shot:
Long shot of the character going mental. Blur or no transition.

Eleventh shot:
Close up of the lock. Pull focus from the lock to the child in the background. Clean cut transition.

Twelfth shot:Point of view shot of the character searching on the floor for an item to break out.

Thirteenth shot:
Panning shot from the floor following the character rising from the ground with the paperclip. The Paperclip would be the object in focus, and the audience would only be able to view the outline of the character.

Fourteenth shot:
Picking the lock, close up. Very little in the shot apart from the lock and chain.

Fifteenth shot:
Long shot of the door opening and the character in frame behind the door.

Sixteenth shot:
Mid shot of the character falling to the ground with happiness and surprise, along with being weak. Pan follows him falling

Seventeenth shot:
Over the shoulder shot as the son lifts his head to view the field in his line of sight.

Eighteenth shot:
Long shot from side on of character running towards the field

Nineteenth shot:Close up of character entering maze field.

Twentieth shot:Character leaving the field and running along road, mid/long shot

Twenty-first shot:Close up of the character in norwich, lost and confused

With thanks to Lee and Tom who typed this up as we were creating the storyboard at the same time therefore I contributed by giving my ideas and amendments to our scenes.

*EDIT* Added extra scene (17th shot) to fit our storyboard as that is what I have created into the storyboard, or else it would not be a very fluid scene.
