Storyboard 10/09/14

This is the first storyboard created for the movie so it is a bit roug and lacking in deatil, but the rough plan is there.

First shot:
Camera looking at the sky while in motion with car noises in the background,
quite faint with the radio going but not very loudly. The tint of the glass affecting the view. 

Second shot:
Goes to a shot of a briefcase on someone’s lap with their hand on it while inside the car with the radio now slightly louder. 
When it transitions to this shot, after a few seconds the title appears, ‘Dirty Work’. 

Third shot:
Then a shot of drives mirror with nothing it while the driver says,
‘remember the signal, (his eyes appear in the mirror) don’t f##k this up’.

Forth shot:
Then it goes to dash cam shot while driving, they then turn down a side road and begin to drive down,
in the background you can hear the radio still on.
This builds up an ominous feeling of what will happen next.

Fifth shot:
Then we get an external shot of the car coming down the road in an open area with a hand holding another case on the left side, this suggests a meeting of some sorts. 

Sixth Shot:
Then a quick shot while in the car of the last shots perspective with the driver saying, ‘get ready’. You can see a business man with an associate holding something in front of their own car.

Seventh shot:
Then there is a shot of the car pulling up with the left hand headlight coming close to the camera before turning off, the music that has been faint in the background of the shots with the car in then stops to signify it was the radio. The car door then opens and a foot appears… 

Carry on shot (Eigth):
…and the camera goes to an over the shoulder perspective from the drivers left side as he walks up to the business man who has an associate in the background leaning on the car, along with the drivers footsteps you can hear two other sets walking in time with him. The business man will say, ‘ah my old friends, you brought the stuff?’

Ninth shot:
The next is from one of the driver’s friend’s perspective who is at the end, so there is one in the middle of the camera and driver (the camera will be angled to hide their faces), the driver says, ‘cash first’. The business man grimaces slightly and beckons over with his hand the associate with the case who then gives it to the business man, he then hands it to the driver. The business man then says, ‘now where’s my product’. The character that the shot is from the perspective of who is also holding the case, walks over to him and gives it to the business man who takes it off of him going, ‘pleasure doing business with you’ and smiles quite menacingly at the camera  while it moves back in line with others.

Tenth shot:
You then have a shot from over the shoulder of the driver walking back to the car with some of his face in the shot, this is the first time you see him. As he is walking back so are the other two men are walking back to their car, when they get to it they open the case to find it presumably empty as they shout out in anger and turn to attack them, but the driver puts on a pair of sun glasses and it turns black with the sound of machine gun fire in the background.

Eleventh shot:
Next you get a perspective shot of now dead business man on the ground staring at the driver going to the car and the other two men standing against it, one with a petrol can next to him, the driver looks at the closest man and says, ‘make it look like an accident’. He then gets in the car and drives away while the man that he wasn’t speaking to grabs the can and with his friend, walks up to the camera, the man with petrol can then pours what the audience will believe to be petrol while the other goes off camera to deal with the other body.  

Twelfth shot:
Finally there is a shot inside the car over the driver’s seat from the rear passengers angle of him using a phone (calling someone) attached to the dashboard above the gearstick, it rings as he driving up and then when it picks up after around two rings, he says, ‘it’s done and we have the money’. He then turns it off and when he clicks it off the screen drops black and the radio music starts playing.   

All of these will be subject to change/ alterations when the final product is released if they are bad or just can't be done effectivly. 


In the begining

Over the coming months, this blog will be updated with news, images and videos of the short film I am making called 'Dirty Work'. It will be a crime mystery with a twist that I won't reveal till the product is completed. This short film will be around 5 minutes long and filmed in a countyside enviorment on a old, dirty track; a rough storyboard has been created setting up the shots, dialodge etc.
