Unfinished Film draft 1

This is the first draft of my film, it is missing a couple of shots which will be filmed this weekend.

Also the sound effects are a bit too loud at the moment and the dialogue needs to be louder, these problems shall be fixed in later versions.

From Mrs S

I like this Chris. I think this could be really effective.

Storyboard: Second draft

I know it says V1 when you see the video but it is actually V2. The sound is more balanced and some new shots have been added aswell as the credits.

Script: Second Draft

Present is in Blue
Flashbacks are in Black

Fade in from black to close up shot of the main character (Jericho Kain) against a dark background.

Jericho: "When hard times hit and hit hard it can drive people to the edge, make them do things they never thought they would ever do."

Show quick succession of brief flashbacks. Fighting and screams, too quick to really see any detail.

Shot goes back to Jericho and the camera is slowly moving closer to his face.

Jericho: "I never wanted to do those things, but there really was no alternative. If I hadn't I would have rotted on the streets like any other of the hundreds of failures and bums there, I had nothing to lose."

Show another set of flashbacks, this time revealing more than before. (Continuation of the fighting seen in the last flashback)

Close up of the side of Jericho's face, he is still looking at the interviewer.

Jericho: "When I took those first jobs it was like survival instincts kicking in, I knew I shouldn't have done it but I was me or them..."

Shot changes to extreme close up of Jericho's face, he is now looking straight at the camera.

Jericho: "... and I took the selfish path."

Extreme close up shot looking down the barrel of a gun, it fires.

Shot of Jericho is now medium, more relaxed.

Jericho: "It should have ended there, but I didn't stop. Eventually it just became business, just a job."

Long shot of Jericho receiving money from a client.

Close up of Jericho's face.

Jericho: "And just like any other job it does begin to get tiresome. I tried to spice things up a bit, coming up with ever more ingenious ways of wiping people off the map."

Quick set of flashbacks showing his collection of killing implements and tools.

Camera is focused on his face.

Jericho: "Here's my personal favorite."

He pulls out a pair of pliers and the camera focuses on them.

Then a shot of him sabotaging a cars brakes using the pliers.

Close up of Jericho's face, he is looking at the pliers.

Jericho: "I mean weapons are fine but after a while they just get a little boring, besides there are just so many different things that you can do with a household tool and yet make it seem like an honest accident."

Flashback showing the sabotaged car go out of control and crash.

Jericho looks down at the floor, medium shot.

Jericho: "In a crazy world we are forced to do crazy things, does that make me crazy?"

He looks at the camera, then a phone rings and Jericho picks it up.

Jericho: "Yes, Yes I see. Consider it done."

He puts the phone down and picks up a pair of glasses.

Jericho: "Excuse me, I have to take out the trash."

He gets up, fade to black. Credits roll.

Storyboard Version 1

This is the first version of my storyboard in video form.

Note* I haven't yet had time to balance the sound so some parts are a bit louder than others, this will be fixed in the next version.
