This is the storyboard for our main project. The quality of the photographs is slightly poor, but they convey the images we wanted to get across. In every frame, we have thought our certain elements- for instance, the colours visible, the props in sight, the clothes of the actors and so on.
We wanted the audience to be unsure of what to make of the character Matthew. Sometimes his behaviour appears cold and he does not seem to care much for his girlfriend- for example, his distateful expression when he is on the phone to her. However, on other occassions, such as the opening shot of them watching the film, we wanted them cuddling and looking like an extremely happy couple. Another way we mixed the signals was via his clothing- he wears dark coloured clothes throughout the clip, but a silver chain, indicating he holds something in sentimental value. A lot of low angle shots are used, intended to make Matthew seem physically dominant, for instance, the shot in which he is preparing dinner.
For the character of Rachel, we tried to effectively convey innocence and vulnerability- for instance, the most prominent colours she wears are white, which symbolises purity, and red, which foreshadows the impending danger. However, as later on in the movie we find she was not as wholesome as first thought, we had her wearing black jeans (black being a colour of the ominous) and smoking a cigarette so as not to seem entirely perfect. To convey her vulnerability, we had a shot of her sitting in a large chair- it makes her look small against the size of the chair, and therefore vulnerable.
