Storyboard First Draft

Storyboard replica from Kweku Addo

This is the original storyboard, before the character changes were made. The setting is the same however. It differs to my final storyboard as these are stills taken from a scene i filmed, compared to the stills i took which replicated the scene.

The sound of the fly is continuously heightened and brought to the forefront, and the distinguishable, sharp buzzing. No shot is entirely stationary; camera is at the very least swaying. Gives off a more naturalistic perspective, as rarely do people ever stand completely still. Multiple shots of bank door, along with sound of chaos inside give...
