My Storyboard

The following video shows the chronological order of my opening title sequence

My drawings do not represent my cast; the drawings are simply to show the chronological order.

My ideas developed:

Grave scene

• Shot of “DAD” written on the gravestone then camera zooms out to show the surroundings (a graveyard)

OR

• Shot of “DAD” written on the gravestone then the camera zooms out to show Jimmy placing flowers at his father’s grave

Jimmy and mother together – devastation

• Shot of Jimmy and mother together (hugging/ showing support)
• Shot of a tear dropping on the floor

Movement to Manchester

• Shot of certain aspects that symbolise Manchester

-          The wheel

-          MCFC stadium

-          Town Hall

Meeting the step-father

• Mother and stepfather arguing as Jimmy watches from a distance

è  Mother and stepfather will be arguing in the caravan in the window and Jimmy will be watching from outside the caravan

Jimmy and stepfather’s relationship

• Jimmy is curled up in a ball in the corner of the room and the stepfather will be shown as a shadow raising his fist (similar to the image I drew for my storyboard)

Jimmy leaving

• See Jimmy walking across a field into the sunset
• Showing feet walking (side on view)
• Jimmy looks back at his mother who is stood at the other end of the field where she is seen crying

 Shot of his new school

Meeting with the thug character

• This character is seen laughing at Jimmy and pushing him so that he drops his folders

Meeting the geek character

• See Jimmy texting another character then the film cuts to the character which Jimmy has texted. He then texts back and the camera reveals his face

Meeting the pregnant teen character

• Jimmy and the other character are seen talking and having a laugh with each other

The final image

• All of the characters who feature in my opening title sequence will be shown together
• Jimmy will stand out to the audiences the most as he is the main character. I will do this by having him stood infront of every other character so that he looks bigger than them
