Storyboard - Doctor's Office

Below is my storyboard for the scene in the film set in a doctor's office.

I suggested a lighting change for this scene to accentuate Gary's (the main character) paranoia. On the first frame of the last page shown above, I suggested changing the lighting during the shot to give a sppotlight-type effect, which would mean turning down the ambient light whilst increasing the brightness on a Dedo. The idea was to literally create a 'deer-in-the-headlights' look.


As with the Grindleford shoot, we each storyboarded our own ideas so we could incorporate an even mix of each group member's ideas into the project. This also meant we were able to bounce ideas off each other, and come up with ideas we wouldn't have thought of if we hadn't each shared our own visions for the film.

For example, while the storyboards for the doctor's scene all followed Poppy's script quite closely, meaning they all approached the scene in a very similar way, looking at Jacob's interpretation of the scene gave me an idea for a more technical shot. He suggested zooming on on Gary's face as he imagines hearing bad news, which gave me the idea of including a dolly zoom to add drama to the effect:
