This is the final storyboard for the movie and will be used in the production of the movie by me and the guys in it to what to do.
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’.
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.
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’.
During these shots the credits will be shown to keep interest to the clip and stop it from being boring for the audience. It goes to a 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.
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.
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…
…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?’
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.
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.
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.
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. The end credits will start playing, giving quote to where the music has come from and other attributes. There are some shots missing due to time issues of taking the shots, I.e. it is on a public roadway and traffic does pick up in the afternoon of people walking and going to the houses nearby. More will be added after filming when all the shots have been created and the weather is also fair.
After creating a storyboard and looking up some possible music choices, I decided to go location hunting taking photos of optimal areas and equipment to use like the car. The shots are empty because the guys I am making it with were otherwise engaged, but they are in order of the storyboard shots I took.

As part of the overall unit, I am making a presentation on the film with examples of things like:
Examples of films/ programs that I drew inspitation from
Target Audience
Backstory to the film
To give of some idea of will be included within theses sections, thses have been taken directly from the presentation.
Setting the
scene The film itself will be set around the time of the
90’s in a world dominated by crime and shady dealings and corrupt officials in
society, the characters that will film will take the perspective of will be
unknown to the audience to give a sense of mystery and intrigue about why they
doing what they do. Target
audience My target audience are people aged from 18 to mid
20’s.
The film will shown as one of a series of short films
in the form of a internet web series, the first one (one being made) will be
setup with the end at the start and the rest would reveal what chain of events
caused this to happen. This works well with my audience as this age range is
very similar to the demographic for people who would watch this on the
internet.
External
examples Of course, to make this work research needed to be
done into other examples of this particular genre for inspiration. Examples
looked were the:
Payday 2 web series which followed a group of criminals
The film Gangster squad with it’s gritty storyline and crime setting
The British detective show Luther with it’s style of portraying people without giving away their identities
The Sopranos TV series which followed a family of organised criminal's
Within the presentation there will also be images of the locations to give some persepective of where the film will be shot, they also add some depth to the presentation so the people watching don't have to just look at text all the way through.
Today I looked at music for the driving segment that would fit well, the idea of building up tension in the clip without giving too much away of what would happen next and the runi it for the audience.
After seaching around I have found some possible songs to use, the first one may not be in the context of crime but it does talk about death and the end of the something, in this case the world. The music is copyright/ royalty free so I will just referance the guy who made it and the channel from it in the end credits.
Name: The Day the World Died From: miracleofsound
The second song I would need to find copyright permissions for as it is still owned by a group, however it does seem to fit better as it is crime/ mafia based and does build up to something during the song itself.
Name: Woke Up This Morning By: Leonard Cohen
