Dolls Domain - Story Boards

Explanation:

- We drew inspiration from the film opening of Dead Silence, with the quick jump cuts of dolls and other 'creepy' aspects associated with dolls. As shown, we intend for all of our doll clips (tea cups, dolls house etc) to vary between 1 and 3 seconds - giving the audience quick flashes of these shots hopefully will create tension and atmosphere.

- We intend for most of our shots to be either close up shots of mid shots. The close up shots will create tension and really stun the viewers especially if they are to be shown in quick 1-3 second shots, the mid shots help us to the full image in shot, for example the dolls house, this will allow the viewers to really get the full picture and perhaps be slightly eery and daunting. 

- We did intend for our production to have a scene where Lucy is running through the forest, this was to be shown in several different shots such as an over the shoulder shot of her running, pan shots of her running and long shots too. However, when it came to the editing process the forest scene was slightly underwhelming in comparison to the rest of our production, it wasn't as eery and creepy as the rest of our clips and it almost didn't make sense to include it, therefore it was scrapped from our final cut.

- It is an important part of the planning process to create story boards for any media production, story boards enable the director to see the angles and directions of each shot, creating the shot the way the director wants it can take a lot of time and precision so creating a story board helps the camera person and direction to find a mutual understanding of how the scene is to be shot. Story boards also help to keep the cast and crew updated by providing a sequence to follow and remind them what scene is coming next. Storyboards allow people to plan and work together, finding ideas that work well and placing them in the order that is best suited.
