Storyboard:

Above is an example of a storyboard i have drawn, it is the storyboard that i have chosen to use as my final film project and consists of 6 stages, first three stages are of how is walking in through the door and across the classroom, stages 4 and 5 are how he sits down and talks to Person B and then the last stage (6) is how he is standing up and then walking across the classroom, the main two camera shots that will be used are reverse shots and the establishing shot, although a match on action will also be used.

Above is the last example of my storyboard, it is a man who has walked through a door in stages one and two, the third stage is he walks up to the counter of the shop and asks about his present for his brother, fourth stage is he is told that the present is not there and it will not be ready in time for his brothers birthday, 5 is where he is very sad and it shows a close-up of the face showing that he is not happy, and ending with section 6 where he walks out of the shop, the main two shots that will be used are the establishing shot and a reverse shot during the short conversation, although a close up will be used and also a match on action shot for entering and leaving the building.

The last of my storyboards above is taken out of the film Love Guru, the scene is a conversation on a plane but as shot 1 shows there is an establishing shot of the plane so you know the feeling of most probably what the 'setting' is going to be for the scene, the second shot is a semi-long shot inside of the plane showing that the two main characters are sitting down opposite each other talking, which leads onto shots 3 and 4 which you get shot-reverse shots of the two people talking to each other, shot 5 is where both the characters look at a picture on the wall of the man, and in shot 6 is a zoom in where it shows the name of who the picture is.

All of the storyboards have in the blurb at the bottom what camera shots are going to be used etc, but the main ones are, two shot, reverse shot etc.

I decided to go with my first storyboard for the film i was going to do as i believe given the details of what is wanted, with the practicality it is the best to do which could give the best outcome with the shots used.

The Matrix:

In class we have watched a section of the film 'The Matrix', it was a clip where the main characters morpheus and Neo have a conversation, this conversation is based around the two of them walking through the door and sitting down, because of this it has very similar camera shots to the scene that we are creating and i thought that it was a very good example of a similar media text, it includes a establishing shot at the start to set the scene going and then when they go through the door a match on action, during the conversation there are shot reverse shot's which give you the sense of the two talking to each other.

I thought that the matrix was a good example as it is similar to what we are trying to create in our own films'.
