Experimental Film: Storyboards

A few days ago I started planning what I wanted my shots to look like on my experimental film. Below are the sequence of images that I came up with.

These are the first thumbnails of the shots that I want in my film. In the very first shot I want a shot of the open room with the leg of the table slightly in shot and to be the main thing in focus, there will be a rattle of the door handle and the lens will pull and put the rest of the room as the focus. The second shot will be simple enough of a fairly close up shot of the door handle twitching and then the main character opening and walking through the door. The third will be a tracking shot of the main characters feet walking across the room. Because I don't have access to equipment such as a slider, I am creating my own makeshift slider by mounting the camera to a skateboard and pushing it along so it stays steady. The fourth shot will simply be of the characters body in front of a chair before sitting down in it and revealing his face. The next shot will just be of a cable and the subjects hand reaching into shot and grabbing it. The last of the first 6 will be a shot from behind the subject, showing him inserting the cable into the back of his neck from a side on view.

The next shot will show the subject plugged in and waiting gormlessly from the back which will then be followed by a close up of the subjects face, again looking gormless. There will then be a shot of the monitor as it starts to load up saying things such as 'processing'. I will then have a close up of the subjects stitched mouth which will be twitching slightly as he waits for the monitor load. The monitor will then load and/or get to 100% and the subjects eyes will suddenly change to a mesmerising shade of blue.

I am still yet to finish my storyboard but I am happy with how I plan to start my film with regards to how I want it to look.
