Here is my storyboard for my film.

This is my film storyboard.

Scene 1

Frame1:

Low angle shot shows girl letting go of the balloon. This is symbolic of her loss and letting go of her grief and despair.

Slow motion used to represent the impact of losing someone or something and the long time everything seems to take when she is in this mood.

Voice over this frame and frame 2 is the "earth to earth " etc. This emphasises her loss but also some form of ending.

Frame 2: Balloon floating off into the sky.

Low angle shot to represent the distance from the girl.

Slow motion again to represent her feelings and time going slowly during her loss. Motionless camera to hold the effect of this loss.

Frame3: Girl walking into camera, down a street -

Motionless camera shot to enhance the impact of the on-coming girl and the future that is in store for her.

Shot starts as wide angle, then through to mid-shot, then close up.

She will slowly walk towards the camera with a voice over of the girl introducing herself to us and the camera.

Frame 4: Still picture of the earth, to show she is an ordinary person like the rest of us watching her. She exists as we do on this planet.

Voice over of "I live here" to emphasise this fact.

Frame 5: Still picture of the sun, since she is talking about and painting a picture of the world around her to show how tragic events can happen to ordinary people living an ordinary life.

Voice over "this is the sun" to again illustrate her engagement with us as members of this planet.

Frame 6: Still picture of clouds. To show that sometimes the brightness of the sun can be covered by clouds, representing her dark mood and gloomy story she has to tell.

Voice over "the clouds.."

Frame 7: Still picture of the moon to illustrate that even in darkness there is some light.

Voice over - this is the moon..

Frame 8. Still picture of stars to illustrate the far off distance of brightness as she sees it at the moment and distance she has to travel to reach this point.

Voice over  and the stars...

 Frame 9: Shot of girl making tea in a red mug.

High angle stationary shot to illustarte her dependence on the everyday taks she performs.

Using a red mug to match the balloon. She is only making one to show she is lonely - the work top is completely clear to illustrate her current state of mind.

This shot is in slow motion to show how slowly time is passing when you are alone. She is drinking tea because it is comfort drink, to warm her insides where she feels cold.

Voice over " average person drinks ...cups of tea in a lifetime" to show how long people should live if nothing unforeseen happens to them in their early years.

Frame 10: Girl siting in armchair reading a Ted Hughes book "Birthday letters". This poem is about losing someone, a modern poem to show she is a young person, but a knowledgeable one. The book itself is red with poppies on the front. Poppies are symbolic of the loss of life generally and the red has a resonance to her in particular.

Voice over is of the girl reading the poem, a dark one to reflect her mood, but an intellectual one to show she has some optimism about the future,her past studying will help her deal with this loss.

Frame 11: Title Frame at the end after impact of the sadness portrayed in the opening.
