Storyboard for our Thriller

1. The opening shots will be of the car that the main protagonist will be entering. The protagonist will be walking to the car, looking around him to make sure there is no one around him. This gives the audience an indication that he has a history behind him that arouses suspicion and also makes us feel like someone is watching him.

2. When he gets to the car we will see close ups of his hand reaching for the door, and there will also be point-of-view shots from inside of the car looking out. This emphasises the idea that he is constantly being watched by someone.

3. When the car door opens this will give us the opportunity to use match-on-action to show him entering the car. at which point he will enter take the gun out from his trousers and place in the the front compartment. Whilst this occurs the soundtrack will have reached full volume and the audience will feel like something is about to happen. The protagonist will then shut the door and silence will fall.

4. The silence will remain as he puts his seatbelt on and then reaches for the ignition of the car. As he starts the car a new soundtrack will start and will change the mood of the scene to one that is more light-hearted, but still keeping that sense of danger.


1. Then the assassin will reach over with a rope and the strangulation scene will then strangle the main protagonist. This will be whilst the new soundtrack is playing over it and will provide us with the ability to use fast-cut editing to make it far more thrilling.

2. The main protagonist will then die and there will be a huge emphasis on point-of-view shots from the perspective of the main protagonist. There will also be close-ups on his face as he dies, this will give the audience an indication that he is losing the fight.

3. When the protagonist dies there will be a shot of his body and the camera will move following the rope used to kill the man towards the back of the car this is where the film shall double up with the beginning of the film showing the titles.

4. At the end of the shot the focus will be on the titles printed on a newspaper to show the audience future events, written in French it will explain the context of the soundtrack to the film.
