Collateral Storyboard

After watching  the opening of 'Collateral' we created storyboards to show what was happening in each shot including movement and zooms. We've also annotated each shot in our storyboard.

Our Storyboards

Annotations: 1.The shot is between a Mid shot and Medium close up.
2. Mid shot.

8.Close up on the mans expression.
9.Mid close up shot.
10. Mid-close up shot, allows us to see their expressions (over the shoulder shot)
11. Mid close up shot

What do they represent, and what can be shown by storyboards?

The annotation underneath the drawing tells us the shot type, but can also note any zooms or placements in the shot.

The white arrows indicate a zoom, in this example the camera centre zooms in on the character.

Black arrows show movement, in this example the character with sunglasses is moving towards the camera whilst the other characters move away from the camera.
