Story Board

Story boards were originally used in Walt Disney the famous children's movie producers. They began by drawing images on separate pieces of paper, pinning them to wall to make a sequence which then subsequently gave them the idea of a story board, because of this story boards have now become an essential part of planning/creation progress.

We thought a story board was essential as it would give us a pre-visualisation of our trailer. It would also help us when we went to begin filming as it would give us a sequence to follow.

We have also decided as a group to use Longacre's theory in order to help create

a good enough model for analysis of texts. There are 8 sections to Longacre's theory.

Here are a list of the sections and how we will apply

them to our own story.

Aperture: The "once upon time" opening- Girls happy and excited on the way down to holiday house

Exposition: Containing vital information about time, place, local colour and participants-arrive at house and talk about stories they have heard about the house

Inciting moment: The moment when things start moving in a story, when the predictable movement of the exposition is broken into- Begin to play ouija board

Developing conflict: When the action intensifies- lights turn black and fast, action shots begin

Climax: When matters come to a head and con

frontation and "final showdown" become inevitable- one girl is chased into the woods

Denouement: A crucial final event occurs and makes resolution possible- girl falls to ground and stange thing approaches her

Final suspense: Details of the resolution are finally worked out

Conclusion: Some sort of satisfactory end is arrived at

This is our story board. Ella w

as in charge of creating the story board and this is what she produced. Ella has done a step by step picture and explanation of the production we are going to make.
