Final Opening Sequence Storyboard

In a previous post, I presented the initial storyboard for our opening sequence of the supernatural horror genre. 

  • This storyboard included several characters including the possessed girl, the possessed girl's mother and the exorcist. Although we initially wanted to include these characters in our sequence, we came across issues concerning the availability of people we knew who could play these parts which meant one of the main and important roles of the exorcist could not be included. 
  • Also, the exorcist was originally meant to be a priest which meant he would have had to be wearing appropriate priest clothing. We concluded that finding a priest costume would have been very difficult and decided to abandon the idea of using an exorcist in our sequence. 
Below is the new 8 page storyboard that I drew after our group decided on the basic story line and characters which we knew we could include with minimal problems.
  • We decided to only include a possessed girl and an unknown older female character who is shown to have a close relationship with the possessed girl.
  • We also decided on different editing techniques which would be added in post production to add to the possession shown in the movements of the possessed girl.
  • As the garage we shot the sequence in didn't have a door for the character to leave through like that seen in shot #10 of the storyboard, we decided that we would add the sound of a door closing in post production as the character walks off screen.
