Film Opening Storyboard

 This storyboard illustrates the plot that I described in my base screenplay that I had showed previously. The illustration of these elements are meant to show the framing, composition, and camera angling of each of these shots. Alongside this, it will make it easier for me animate as I now have a reference for the rest of the scenes that I haven't already animated.

This section of the storyboards are meant to establish tension immediately within the film. This chase scene, followed by the confrontation quickly grabs the viewer's attention. Its vagueness and lack of context also brings out the curiosity of the viewer.

This section of the storyboard establishes who the true big bad of this film is; that being the Blue Bandit. This section also shows the inherent lengths that each characters go through to achieve their selfish goals. This bad intent further cements them all as being in the same lowly playing field.

This section is meant to end the action part of the film opening with a suspenseful, dramatic event. The Blue Bandit killing the Bounty Hunter shocks the audience, as we do not know the context behind this character yet. This section will transition into the true horror elements of the film opening; those elements being in the title cards.

It should be noted that I have not yet scripted nor storyboarded the title cards. Majority of my ideas have yet to be put on paper properly, and instead remain as signaling ideas in the back of my mind. While this may be considered irresponsible, it allows me as a director to better decide what should be included in said title cards, given that the title cards are supposed to show clips from the actual film.
