Film Opening Planning - New Storyboard

Film opens with an establishing shot of Portishead as our protagonist the Paranoid Man enters a costume shop, match on action is used in the second shot as the character continues to walk into the shop in a camera long shot. In the third shot, the camera is now 180 degrees at the Protagonist's right side browsing through the shop as a Man in Yellow watches. The fourth shot is a close-up shot of the Paranoid Man being startled only to find that no one is there. The fifth shot depicts the Paranoid Man running to the bus stop, this is the shot when the unsettling non diegetic music is begins playing; the sixth shot shows The Paranoid Man sitting next to a person in a yellow coat, he assumes that he is the Man in Yellow and runs off.

The seventh shot is the protagonist cowering and grasping the gate behind him and running off, the camera then zooms to the Man in Yellow sitting far beyond the gate. The 8th shot is a low angle shot showing the feet of the Paranoid Man running as the Man in Yellow follows him in a calm pace; the 9th shot is now in a forest area as the protagonist hides near a fallen tree, as he looks ups the tenth camera shot is a POV shot of the Paranoid man's perspective looking up to the sky. The eleventh shot is a long shot of the Paranoid Man running off to the distance, it was recommended by my partner to carefully place the Man in Yellow hidden within the background, the 12th shot depicts the Paranoid Man entering his home.

The 13th shot is a close up of a coffee mug positioned as the centre of attention , this camera shot has been noted as the moment where the Paranoid Man has actually stopped running from which further shows in the 14th shot of the Paranoid Man who is now slightly calm. The 15th shot hints a slight, paranoid clue to who or what the Man in Yellow is; the 16th shot shows the Paranoid Man turning suddenly to his back as someone knocks from the other side of the door, let it be noted that the non-diegetic sound stops when the knocking begins. The 17th shot zooms in to the door in order to emphasise the tension in the scene; the final shot is a close-up shot of the Paranoid Man  taking a knife, preparing to attack what lies behind the door.
