Pre Production Storyboard
After gaining all our ideas together from different sources such as the questionnaire and our different movie influences we all had a main idea as to how we would construct our open sequence to our thriller. We therefore drew this out on a storyboard as shown:




Background knowledge on the storyline is that there is a detective who has evidence to bring down a top criminal who is being held in custody. If this evidence is presented in court the criminal will go to jail for life. However the detective has another option and can take the ‘bent copper’ path if he chooses. The detective chooses this path and arranges to meet with a representative of the criminal in custody where he will therefore swap the evidence for a large amount of money. In this pre production title sequence the following is therefore shown. There is the establishing shot of the house and it then shows the detective within the house sorting out all the different pieces of evidence. He then receives a call from a criminal contact he has been tracking who tells him where to meet so they can make a swap between the evidence and substantial amount of money. The detective therefore leaves the house and walks towards the road he is meant to meet the contact on. When meeting the contact they exchange words and hope to make the swap without any interruptions. However when the detective goes to take the bag of money the criminal contact pulls out a gun and kills him. This therefore results in the detective lying dead on the road whilst the criminal walks off with the evidence and the money.
