Ideas for First 2 Minutes


Storyboard:

A)     * Titles appear, with edited sound playing for limelight media, Footsteps begin as it shows the rest of the titles.

* First shot – rear view of legs walking into a darkened room. Only light is in the middle of the room. Words appear onscreen saying ‘10 years ago’ and where it is set.

·         Shot doesn’t change, but it rises to a mid-shot. This is where we hear indistinct chatter from where the light is.

·          The four characters sitting in chairs around a table are seen talking about the person approaching.

·         The characters greet him in a friendly way and sit back down.

·         They all begin to ask the character standing up why they all are there.

·         A bird’s eye view of the table, then an over the shoulder shot shows the character standing and slowly sliding something onto the table. The other characters laugh and this makes the audience want to know what they were looking at.

·         This is where the scene ends.

·         This is important for the audience to see because they can clearly identify that the characters are all friends so they know nothing bad is about to happen. Also they get an idea of the leader of the group of characters although it’s not a clear idea. This shows them that he is perhaps a significant character in the film.
