Psychosis Storyboard

This is the storyboard for my thriller opening. Some sketches were draw up of what the shots will look like and notes were written below each picture that explain what is happening for future reference.

Final Thriller Opening Sequence Synopsis

First we see a close up of a pair of army boots. This is the first appearance of enigma because we don't know who's wearing the boots. Slowly, the character whom is wearing the boots is revealed. He starts to walk forward and slowly pulls down his hood. We see that he is wearing a mask, covering his face. The shots flicker to show how he looks normally. We see that he is a normal teenage boy but we know that something isn't right with him because of the unusual disguise. We see him pull out a weapon but we don't know why he has it. The next scene is indoors. We don't know where it is but it's dark and mysterious. We see someone lighting candles, this is an enigma because we aren't sure who is lighting them and why they are lighting them. The next shot is of someone in the corner of the room, sat rocking backwards and forwards as if they are distressed or scared. We don't know who this person is. Next, we see the boy looking in the mirror at himself. He looks normal but we see flickers of his mask. We see his hand covered in blood. He lifts it to his face and smears the blood slowly down his cheek. He hears people shouting behind him so he slowly turns around. Lasers are being pointed on his chest. We realise that he has guns pointed at him, turning to face the camera and grinning, the only word he says is 'bang'

Final Thriller Film Synopsis

At the very start of the film the main character is killed by the guns which are pointed on his at the end of the opening. However the audience is convinced that he actually survives as he continues to play as the protagonist throughout the rest of the film. A female character later introduced into the story line falls in love with him and eventually discovers that he is in fact dead. Through the film the female character is oblivious to the fact that the love of her life is killing everyone she loves, and killing everyone she has ever cared about. At the very end of the time it is revealed that she is also in fact dead and was indeed killed by her love early in the film, although her body was hidden from sight.

Creating a Production Company Logo

Whilst given the task to create a logo I started to firstly started to bounce a few ides around in Photoshop and decided that I wanted to create a rather unique logo. Starting with the basic idea that I wanted some type of symbol and then a unique name, I started to sketch out the one you see above, and from using basic lines. I thought it would have a better effect if I made the simplistic lines into a bone type shape and therefore this is the result.

Wanting to get a background I decided that would drop red ink into a fish tank and then record the effect it.

After recording the ink dropping I placed the file with the ink droplets along with drawn logo and put both of the on top of each other. After doing such I added a fade in and fade out effect at the start and end of the logo so that it would look much better.

This is the final product.
The quality is bad due to the fact Final Cut Pro wouldn't work properly.
