R&P Story board
Shot 1: This shot will show an establishing shot of the main character in desolate area where everything has been destroyed (hopefully we will be able to use Wisley airfield for this) The camera will pan around the character and the shot will be a medium shot, the shot will then zoom out into a long shot. There will be no dialogue in this shot however there will be the ambient noise from the scene and some music playing
Shot 2: This shot will be for the title credits which show the producer and director of the film. The music will still be playing and the text will fade in and out.
Shot 3: This shot will show two characters talking before the event that the film is based around takes place. This will help to give the audience a better understanding of the background of the protagonist. The camera will do a shot reverse shot of a close up of the two characters and maybe a few over the shoulder shots mixed in.
Shot 4: This is another credits shot but this time it will show more institutional information rather than credits
Shot 5: These shots will be based after the event has happened. The main character will be looking for food and supplies and will be scavenging through houses and building. This sequence will have varied shot types that will include close up and extreme close up shots of the character as well as some of the props. Once again the music will be playing, but this shot will start a voice over monologue from the main character.
Shot 6: This shot will also show the character scavenging for supplies but this shot will focus on the character rather than the objects they are handling, Once again the music will be playing ad the monologue will continue
Shot 7: This shot will be the first encounter that the main character has with other survivors. The camera will swap between the characters focusing on their faces using shot reverse shot as well as over the shoulder shots. At this shot the monologue will subside and the diagetic sound will be the only audible sound apart from the music that is playing in the background.
Shot 8: This shot will be a plain black screen and the monologue will return for a few seconds, then the the next shot will be shown. The music starts to quieten down in this shot and fades to almost silent.
Shot 9: This will be a sequence of fight scenes that the main character has with other survivors. This sequence will be a series of fast cuts and the music will start again. The shot will mostly consist of close up shots and medium shots to help make the sequence faster.
Shot 10: This shot will be a follow on from the previous and will feature fast moving scenes with the music playing and some dialogue.
Shot 11: This shot will be a scene where the main character is meeting the other groups of survivors and the sequence will include some arguments with the other survivors and disputes between the main character and the other characters.

Mood Board
1) This image shows one of the locations we intend to use
for the film. The location is Weybridge Gravel Pit in surrey. It is an
abandoned industrial site and is perfect for our film. The location has a sandy
floor which makes the location look like it has been hit by a bomb or the like.
We chose this location as it suits are needs, but is also meets all the needs
of our film.
2) This image has been chose as it represents one of the
shot types that we a hoping to use. The
image shows a person holding a note using an over the shoulder shot to look
down on the note. This show shows that the person in the image is alone with
the use of dark colours and the setting which the shot takes place in.
3) This image shows three people walking in suits that
protect them from radiation. This shows the kind of costumes that we can use in
our trailer. It suggests the cause of the apocalypse, such as a nuclear
explosion, of which our trailers is based around. The settings in which the
characters are in is also similar to the setting that we want to use in the
trailer. The setting shows a barren land that is similar to the one that we
will use in our trailer, amongst many.
4) This image shows the kind of main character that we want
to use. It shows the character in the empty streets of London. The character is
alone which gives the impression that there are no other characters in the
film, which helps to make the scale of the apocalypse apparent. The way in
which the character is walking and his body position and what he is wearing
suggests that he does not really know what is going on and is in a state of
confusion.
5) This shot show the setting of which our film will be set
in. we want to out film to have the same feel as this shot, with the emptiness
and nothingness.
6) This is scenery shot this time set in New York. This,
like 5 is the same feel that we want create
7) This shot image shows Will Smith from I Am Legend. This
is the type of character that we want in our film. The character is seen in
this image with a gun which suggests he is in control of the situation and
knows how to handle himself. We want a similar character to be our main
character, this will be the character that takes control of the situation and
is the leading hero character in the film.
8) This is another scenery shot that we want our film to
have the same effect on the audience. This image gives the audience an idea of
what the situation is and gives them a sense of scale
