Overall view of storyboard
Separate shots of Storyboard
"Black Screen" - the film opens onto a black screen and it lasts for 0.05 seconds.
"What you are about to see is based upon true events" - the text slowly appears coming towards the screen and is the colour red to connote danger and death.
Long shot of the TV showing the news report of the murder of Kristen Blakely. The mask is on top of the TV in clear view.
The camera then slowly moves towards the TV and stops at a mid shot of the TV and the mask.
The camera then pans slowly to the left revealing a wall filled with ripped drawings and photographs.
The camera then cuts to a quick shot of a crime scene and a brutally murdered female lying on the floor covered in blood.
The camera then returns to the panning of the camera revealing more of the wall.
The shot then cuts to another crime scene in a bathtub where a female is covered in blood.
The panning has now cut out the shot of the Television yet the sound of the news report is still remaining. These shots will be handheld as we are acting as though the camera are the what the stalker is seeing through his eyes.
A fast flash back to a mid shot of the TV, a bloody hand then appears from the right side of the frame and turns the TV off. The TV then remains fuzzy.
The camera then returns to the paused shot of the entire wall, the camera then starts to zoom towards the three large groupings of pictures on the left side of the wall.
The zooming increases in speed and stops at a shot of the three pictures with one crossed out.
The same bloody hand from before slowly appears from right hand side of the frame and picks up the picture next to the crossed out one.
The mid shot of the hand holding onto the picture.
The camera then zooms into the picture of a smiling female.
His left hand with his finger extended out with blood on the tip moves towards the picture and starts to draw a cross.
The finger continues to draw a bloody cross over the picture.
"What you are about to see is based upon true events"
Our inspiration for this short clip in the opening was taken from the 2008 horror film 'The strangers'. The film was based upon true events and makes the film more chilling as the audience know that some of the brutal scenes which took place have happened in real life.

Alternative endings
At first, we could not decide which ending to choose from on our storyboard. We thought that we could either leave our film as it is above or add a different ending to set the rest of the film up. These are the type of endings that we came up with:
First ending:
Long shot of a door in darkness with a white flickering light coming from above the door.
Long shot of the flickering light, a tall figure walks towards the door.
Second ending:
A hand-held shot.
The camera is shot from the Stalkers point of view as he is walking towards an opened front door.
The camera continues to unsteadily move towards the door.
The camera then stops at the front door.
After looking through our alternative endings we have decided to film the park scene with the swing swaying, however we decided not to have to girl on the swing so then the audience would ask questions like who was on that swing? How comes the swing is swaying yet there is noone on it? However, if this ending scene does not look right as we have filmed all in the interior and then jumped to the exterior we may have to re-think the ending.
