This is the first screen shot from the storyboard for our thriller opening. It begins with a black screen and faded thuds sound every second. As each thud sounds, block capital, white credits flash up, coinciding with the writing. The thuds soon become the shallow tick tocks of a clock.
The first shot depicts an extreme close up of digital clock radio. As the camera zooms out, the clock ticks over to 6 A.M. The alarm-radio sets off and an up beat song plays, sound goes to being diegetic.
High angle shot of a man waking up to the alarm-radio music, that Ben Dufton (Music Director) has chosen. The moment he switches it off, the sound goes from being diegetic to non diegetic and the music is played throughout the scene.
Next shot main character is brushing his teeth (seeing him through the mirror) Then an over the shoulder shot. Ben's chosen up beat track continues to play. Music goes half volume to allow for diegetic sound.
Three cuts of the main character walking down the stairs. First: Tracking shot Second: Close up static shot Third: Dolly/ tracking shot. Then the next shot appears.
Long shot (fly on the wall) From the top corner of the room, shows the main character walking in and seeing a virus that has infected his laptop, the small camera light is flashing red. Inclusive to this, he spots something in his scientific notes that trouble's him, alarmed he runs outside to his car to tell someone about his discovery.
A gravelly P.O.V shot from the laptop's camera shows the man finding his discovery and running out of the shots view towards the door of the house, he is clutching a folder of important scientific notes. (This is the reason for the laptop showing a virus message.)
Dolly shot of the man running out of the door, suddenly a sniper cross-hair shot, the music gets louder and a shot is fired into the scientists head. Three men in black go over to the body and steal the folder of notes from his hands and get into a black van driving by. Music fades and echoes, leaving a sombre tone.
