Comparative Film Practices: Storyboard

To explain my storyboard, I usually treat one as a rough guide to what I will shoot, rather than a shot by shot list. This is partially because admittedly I lack patience to make one that big, but also as I treat storyboards as quick reference guides to the shots I'm trying to take. Another thing to note is that this was based on the earliest version of the narrative, so it doesn't match the the film exactly.

(The shot starts off as black as "The Great Pretender" starts to play. The Shot then opens to a man trudging through the countryside.)

 (His boot steps into frame.)

 (Shot cuts to an extreme close-up of the gas mask on the Wanderer's face.)

 (A shot of a trunk that is found in the middle of nowhere.)

 (Perspective shot on angle with both the Wanderer and the trunk.)

 (The man kneels down to open the trunk.)

 (The trunk is opened and is filled with film reels.)

 (He takes the trunk and carries it with him.)

 (The Wanderer enters a dark tunnel and starts to hear echoey voices.)

 (A high angle shot looking up at the man as he quickens his pace.)

 (The Wanderer arriving home and sets the trunk down.)

 (He brings out an old projector and sets it up. he then plays some of the films.)

 (The Wanderer sits down to watch the film.)

 (The films are all about families and different cultures.)

 (The man recreates what he sees on screen.)

 (Suddenly, war-time footage airs and stops the Wanderer dead in his tracks.)

 (He sits there solemnly as the credits roll.)

(Later, after the credits, we see the Wanderer spot another person in the distance.)
