Post-it Storyboarding - Scenes 3 and 4

Having got more of an idea about the sort of shot types we were looking for, we began to find storyboarding much easier;

Scene 3


In this scene we needed to show the meeting between Scott and Robyn, this is really where the relationship develops and the audience get to know more about Robyn's plan.
  • In the first shot we see Robyn waiting for Scott by a lamp post, this will be a long shot hopefully showing in full both Robyn and the lamp post.
  • The next shot shows a fragmented mid shot of Robyn to the left and a long shot of Scott walking towards her.
  • Robyn and Scott then share some dialogue alternating between close ups of them both and then profile shots.
  • Here Robyn thanks Scott for coming and explains her made up situation, enticing him into this rut that she's apparently got herself into. Scott agrees to take this money Robyn's apparently left him to the gang leader in order to help her set the record straight. She tells him to wait for her to ring the office three times before leaving with the money.

Scene 4


This is where Scott goes back to the office to find the money and awaits Robyn's 'three rings' before her leaves with the money. We did want to incorporate Robyn into this scene somehow so decided a close up of her smoking (negative connotations) while ringing him  would be would be a good way to do this.
  • Again, we wanted to use disorientating shots to show Scott's frantic state of mind, so even though there isn't much going on we can still create quite a long scene developing the plot.
  • We start with a close up of his face looking worried and impatient.
  • Then cut to a shot of his watch helping to establish a time frame for the audience but also we could maybe slow the ticker down during editing to create more disorientation.
  • We wanted various shots of the phone to follow the three rings and then to cut to a long shot of Scott leaving after the rings. Charlie had the idea of using the one-point-focus filming technique to really disorientate the audience - so we may try this here.
  • Finally we may have another close up of the phone showing that is does ring more than three times suggesting Scott is leaving at the wrong time. However, Robyn is actually setting him up and it is in fact her ringing more than three times.
