Storyboard

For the storyboard, I chose to plan shots/scenes of the perspective of the antagonist in which the scene is set in the woods as the woods symbolise isolation and vulnerability. By the antagonist walking in the woods creates more mystery as the antagonist wants to be hidden and not be seen by anyone which will create suspense for the audience as the antagonist's appearance has not been revealed but will keep the audience engaged within the film as it creates curiosity for the audience as they will be wondering what the identity of the antagonist is. This convention is found within the horror slasher genre as this convention can be found within the opening of the film Halloween (1978).

 

I also chose to plan an extreme long-shot of the protagonists as it reinforces the convention of vulnerability and inferiority as it will create the illusion of them being smaller in size and and for the composition of them being in the middle of the screen it makes them look more vulnerable as it makes the protagonists look even more smaller and the audience will feel more in suspense as they will feel anticipation of what danger surrounds them as danger could strike the protagonists from anywhere. This convention can be identified within the horror slasher genre as this can be seen within the horror slasher film Halloween (1978) which this convention was chosen for the same effect.



I also chose to plan shot where the antagonist jumps out to the protagonists unexpectedly which will make the audience feel scared and will flinch as they will not expect the antagonist to jump out of nowhere and attack one of the protagonists and will frighten the audience. This convention can be identified within the horror slasher genre as this convention is used within the horror slasher The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) which was used to create the same effect for the audience.
