Storyboarding - Numbers

We were tasked with shooting a script and the script we were given includes two characters - Number 2 and Number 6 - and one is being interrogated by the other. For this I would like to shoot it as shown below and the character designs I did are relatively basic, Number 2 is given a hoodie in order to create mystery for example.



I would like to use an abandoned house for the opening and the rest could be filmed in an alleyway - with the sky out of frame in order to make it seem indoors. If this isn't possible then simply shooting in an alley would suffice.

I have included alternate shots for some areas in which it would depend on the location for. Overall I feel that the mysterious nature of Number 2 is conveyed here as the character would be silent and not give much context.




Here are some design ideas in regards to the costumes of the characters.

I feel as though Number 2 would be hooded for a small period of time in order to create suspense through the fact that Number 2 is unknown.

For Number 6 I feel that more people would empathise with a female protagonist as they have proven quite popular in recent films i.e. the Hunger Games. Due to this the character is in practical clothing, setting the mood for potential gritty action if the script needed it.
 
I haven't storyboarded the next scene however during shooting this could be beneficial if I decide on new shots depending on the location. I need a small room in which I can darken and potentially use a light for illuminating the scene how I see fit.

  1. Some very good detail here, Eughan, although you would be advised to produce some sort of plan for the shoot in the room. You need to be careful when shooting in low light - you may end up with some poor quality footage. You should aim to do some test shots before you produce your final piece.
