This week I continue working on refining the storyboard. I feel like some weird perspective may enhance the feeling of weird, like the angle from roof to floor with maybe 45 degrees imitating as a monitor. In that way, the animation will have many camera movements and shot editing. So, I think the challenge for me is to do continuity editing to help the audience know what is happening. And meanwhile, make sure it is horrible. But maybe it’s not all about continuity to create horror. Because this uncomfortable discontinuity can also help to create an atmosphere of fear.

What’s more, I want a shot that looks out under the bed. My assumption is that the character is lying on the bed and fell asleep, and then the camera sees someone taking two steps near the bed, and the character wakes up but finds that there is no one nearby.

Also, the camera might be at an unusual angle to emphasize the feeling of weirdness.

Part Two – Corridor

Character wants to open the door of her room. Leave negative space behind her in the scene.

Then camera suddenly cut to a can falling to the floor. Need to add the sound effect of collision.

Then cut back to the character, the lens rotates up in order to show that the proportion of the character in the scene is small. That’s also serve for creating the atmosphere of fear.

The view of whole corridor from character. Lights suddenly turn off one by one with a slow speed. Also, a sound of walking come up along with the light change.

The final scene of corridor. The character ducks into his room quickly.

Part Three – Room

A tilted angle with some rotate to emphasize the feeling of character’s afraid.

Then give a cut to the character laying on the bed, fall in sleep. Maybe a close up to the painting on the wall because I want what to do a change on them later.

A shot under the bed find someone take two steps to bedside. Then suddenly disappear.

The character wakes up from the bed and gets out of bed to check if everything an illusion. The painting an the wall may be changed.

A close up to her face. Then zoom out and shift the focus from the character to the painting on the wall.

Part Four – Clock

A Clock shows the time goes to 12:00.
