Animatic voiceover script
- 1. Animatic Voice Over Hello and thank you for watching my storyboard animatic. Firstly I would like to explain that due to the nature of my film and the locations used for filming, it wasn’t possible to take pictures of all the scenes before I started filming (although whilst filming I used my drawn storyboard – as can be seen in the pictures on my extras page) so before I start to edit my film I have used screen shots from the footage I have recorded to produce an animatic. Shot 1 This is a fairly high angle shot – fade from black of a boy asleep in bed, he seems peaceful Shot 2 Mid shot – same boy wakes up sharply – wide eyes then fade to black Shot 3 Fade from black zoom out to show a different boy stood looking at a wall of pictures of the boy from the previous shot – fade to black Shot 4 Back in the first boys house, walking from his room across the landing to the stairs Shot 5 Match on action – boy reaching bottom of the stairs – we see the post on the door mat – he picks it up Shot 6 Over shoulder match on action of boy with post – thumbs through the letters quickly – stops at the back letter – pauses to give audience a chance to see Shot 7 Close up of boy – he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath then turns and walks down the hall Shot 8 High angle match on angle meant to look like CCTV as boy walks into the living room, walks towards the camera – reaches up to get a black box from the top of the cabinet Shot 9 Over shoulder match on action of boy sat in chair with the box on his knee – takes off the lid to show a box full of the same letters, puts letter in box – fades to black. Shot 10 New place – wide shot pan – boy walks round corner, gets so far and pauses, takes out headphones and walks away. Shot 11 Same place as previous shot but the next day – boy gets to the same place and stops again. Shot 12 Mid over shoulder shot – boy looking at open gate – phone rings – answers and walks away Shot 13 Same place again but next day – walks round to the same place and stops Shot 14 Close up – takes a deep breath, closes eyes and walks past the camera Shot 15 Mid shot from behind – boy walks through the gate – fade to black Shot 16 Titles – bridge the two halves of the story Shot 17 Fade from black – establishing shot of an abandoned building. Shot 18 Pan out – boy tied to chair – regains consciousness and starts to struggle and look around starts to rock on chair and fall Shot 19 Match on action close up of boy hitting the floor Shot 20 Wide shot from behind boy on floor – can now see other boy pacing and shouting in front with a gun
