Questioning Reality...One Storyboard At A Time

My group and I have been working hard on creating the specific image of what we want. We have creative ideas for shots and have storyboarded some of them. 


The storyboard begins with a POV shot of Daniel waking up to blinding lights and his ears ringing. The following shots establish that he is in an office and dozing off. After this point, he begins to have flashbacks to the accident and the different things involved in the accident. For example, since we can't film a car crash, we are going to imply a car crash by having shattered glass on the road, close ups of personal items on top of the glass, and close ups of the tires and wheel of the car. Also, sounds are going to work well in these flashbacks because we can include the sound of police cars, as well as distinguishable sound of them speaking through a walkie-talkie. Something cool that we want to do is enhance the sound elements by not making them match completely to the relative scene. For example, instead of including a typical sound when the book drops, it is going to be a sound from the accident that will immediately take our character back into his flashbacks. This would work to dramatize the scene and heighten interest! We also have interesting ideas for the transitions between Daniel's reality to his flashbacks so that they are subtle, therefore emphasizing Daniel's lack of complete grasp over what is his reality. 

I'm excited to see what the final product will be now that we have a better vision of what exactly we are doing!!
