My Storyboard

The images below are my storyboard explaining the scenes throughout my thriller/horror trailer for my film which i have decided to call 'Hear My Cry', as i do believe it is a very effective title that viewers are likely to remember as it is plain and simple, but has a very deep meaning relating to the film itself. As the main didactic purpose of the text is always seek justice and never settle till you succeed even if you feel like you are unable to. The hand drawn images are indicating what is going to happen in each specific scene. The trailer will start with photos of two young girls (best friends) to indicate to the audience that they're the main chacarters within the film. After a jump cut to a close-up of a clock is shown, indicating that the camera is going to pan around the clock with an empathesised 'tick-tock' sound to create tension for the audience, the deeper meaning of the ticking clock is that time is passing quickly, however the audience is unaware to why time is passing and the consequence of what may happen if the time runs out, this hopefully encourages them to visit the cinema and view the whole film. Another jump cut to a rough looking teddy bed on a messy bed appears on the screen at a medium shot that again the camera carries on in pan mode to pretend to be the audience looking around the young girls room. A newspaper article appears on the screen after a black screen express a murderer of a young girl, this is indicating to the audience that a murder occurs within the film, they will be curious as to who is the victim but also why. A extreme long shot of a young girl running into a dark forest with dim lighting suddenly flashes onto the screen, while the music gets faster creating tension for the viewer as they don't know what is going to happen to her, is she the girl that dies but how? After a rough looking man appears on the screen at a medium shot, screaming, the shot will be as if we as the audience are the young girl getting wrong by who we later find out is her father who is an alcohol and frequently abuses her.

A extreme close-up in bright lightening appears of the young girl crying to show her expression and hopefully make the audience sympathise with her. The trailers jump cuts to present and past to confuse the audience and create excitement. A black screen suddenly appears presenting the words "THIS SUMMER..WHERE FACT...BECOMES REALITY...BASED ON A TRUE STORY", this is a basic overview as to when the film, 'Hear My Cry' will be released, also creating tension b the use of 'Based on a true story' as i personally feel is its based on a true story the audience are more likely to sympathise with the character.A bright scene of different young girl hugging her mother appears on the screen, we later find out if you watch the film that this young girl is the victims best friend.It will be shown in a low angle long shot to indicate that we have less authority than the young girl as in the next few scenes of the trailer she is able to speak to her dead best friend and hopefully help her seek justice by finding her murderer. After, another long point of view shot showing the best friend at the victims grave which suddenly zooms into a extreme close-up of her face after the victim whispers 'Help me...' This is a supernatural element of the dead communicating with the living as it is unnatural and doesn't occur often. Not many of the audience will have witnessed a circumstance even similar to this so it will create thrill and make them want to watch the whole film to find out every little detail of who murdered the girl? does he get caught? what happens to her? how do they find out who murdered the young girl? ect The trailer ends when the music fades out, it will be another black screen featuring the words "COMING SOON...2013 IN CINEMA...THIS SUMMER" along side the website "www.hearmycry.co.uk" so anyone interested in any information about the film 'Hear My Cry' , are able to find out they inquires.
