Storyboard images
Shown below is the storyboard we followed. Tom was the best at drawing so we decided he would be the best one in our group to draw the storyboard. He drew what shots we will use and gave an explanation below.
The first three shots are of the institution and the beginning of our title sequence. Below shows the order we will use including our names on the Christmas tree.
In the next three boxes there are more titles we will use including stockings, cards and cookies. This shows we have many props in our opening scene.
Below shows more title sequence names we will use, these include books and presents. Also shown is the first character which is an elf listening to music which will be heard over the top of the filming.
The next three shots show the first view of Santa coming from the chimney, he has a red coat over him and the third shot shows him throwing off the coat revealing who he is.
Below in the next three shots is the scene where Santa is stolen by someone wearing all black. The three shots will guide us when it comes to filming so we know where Santa is dragged which is away from the fireplace.
The last shot on the storyboard is the wreath on the door with the words of 'Saving Santa' our title of the film. As the door slams the camera zooms out which is explained beneath the image.
Our storyboard will become useful when filming so we know where to shoot, what to do and where to place props.
Also shown on the storyboard is the timings we will use, they are seen in the smaller box below the image. This will be a good guide because we will know roughly how long the shots will have to be.
