Trailer storyboards

During the planning stage of our horror movie trailer we had to draw out some story boards listing the different scenes, shot info and other informaton including sounds/spoken parts, chronoligical order and timings as well as small pictures explaining what was written.

During pre-production and planning we had a lot of ideas that we decided to change in the end. Some, like shot number 27/28, were too hard to do so we decided to get rid of them and replace the shot with something else to save time.








Eventually we realised that our trailer past about the half-way mark was essentially a single scene, something very rare in a trailer and certainly not what we wanted to do so we mixed things up a bit. By comparing our storyboards to the trailer you may see evidence of this as some shots are in different places.

We tried to get our shots to fit as much as we could but we found the chains of our storyboard to be far too restricing so we stopped following it.
Fortunatly, since we already had most of our shots and a rough idea of where everything was going we weren't lost without the storyboard.
