Preliminary task - Storyboards

These are the storyboards drawn by Connie but overall the group contributed in the making of this short film.  In the first shot you see the main character sitting on a bench. The next shot is a tilt from his stomach to his angry/ hungry face. with the grumbling sound effect which will be added during the editing, the audience will instantly realise what is going on. The third shot is an over the shoulder shot which shows the audience that he's begun his journey to hunt and devour food. The camera zooms out to show a long/ tracking shot of the character. The fifth and sixth shot is an establishing shot that shows the audience that he's entering the cafe.

Next, we show the audience that he's leaving the cafe and we do this by having a close up of his shoes leaving the premises. The next shot is a close up of him opening his food and the ninth shot is an extreme close up of him smiling. Even though there hasn't been any dialogue yet, the audience understands that this short film is about food. The next couple of shots just show the audience that he's on his way back to a place where he can he peacefully and silently. In the eleventh shot he walks in from the right to sit down and in the twelfth shot is a high angle shot to both show his shoulders and the food on the table.

This next shot begins with a fan behind him blowing his hair, making it seem holy and glorious. When he's about to take a bite, he's interrupted by the other character in the background. This is when the fan stops blowing and they exchange dialogue. During the dialogue, we're going to use pull focus. To show the audience that the other character is leaving we have a long shot of him apologising and walking off the frame. The main character then continues to eat and it ends with the 'HAPPINESS' title before it cuts to black.
