We have completed the first draft of our storyboard and are presenting it to our teacher for feedback and advice. We know it is incomplete and that we have compressed several shots into one post-it, but we wanted to see how the overall idea sounded before getting into the finer details.
This session gave us a lot to think about. We are happy with the stpyboard on the whole, but we do understand the point about briefly sketyching in characters, even if in quite a stereotypical way, as this does seem to be what opening sequences are all about. We are not so worried about people understanding what has happened to the boy who looks for the football - we are sure they will assume that there must be other zombies on the loose in the woods for this to happen, and if they don't know this from their genre knowledge, they will pick it up later in the film. We would imagine the scene after our opening to be a conversation with the zombie killer, for example, whom probably knows lots about what's happening and fills in the characters and the audience at the same time.
