Reflective analysis: storyboard
I chose 'lets eat' by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis for the music in the sequence to create a false sense of security, as the song does not relate to the sequence at all. This makes the audience think its going to be a cheerful sequence as the start of the sequence could be from any genre type. The mise-en-scene I used were used to show either; the person is normal (the kettle, making tea), or to pull the audience in (the bags). I used a lot of point of view shots (P.O.V.) in this, so you only see whats going on from their eyes. To show that they were point of view shots I tilted the camera slightly as this makes it seem more like its from their point of view. this did not work as well as I had hoped as it just looks like I could not work the camera well.
I originally wanted to film this but it became tedious the weather in the areas I wanted to film in wasn't good, the result of that was me and the actor were slipping on the mud a lot. An improvement that I could have done is edit the pictures at the start to look brighter to add to the false sense of security. This would also contrast with the pictures after the music stops as they would be darker.
I decided to not show the face of the character in the sequence, the intended effect of this is to draw the audience in as they would want to know who they are. I tried to do this by showing bits of their face, e.g. eyes in the car mirror, cheek when getting the shovel.
My original idea for this sequence was for it to have a linear narrative, by doing this I would have to do a cliched 'couple weeks later' so instead I decided to have a flashback of what happened to the body in the bag after you see it open. As I could not create a bag full of body parts, I had to get a picture of it off the internet. This is a disadvantage because I couldn't find one that had the same kind of environment behind, so it does not match.
