AFTER HOURS PRODUCTION BIBLE STORYBOARD
Upon coming up with the idea to make a horror film set within Middlesex University and writing a rough outline of the story, I spent a day taking reference photos of the Grove building so I could plan out my shots. I then started story boarding which was a relatively easy task since I felt I had all the reference material and narrative already prepared.
I’m working late at uni and im the last student in the Grove building, this is demonstrated with some slow zoom establishing shots showing the building is vacant of people.
i’m working on my animation and im told to leave by a security guard. A close up shot shows me picking my digital pen up from the desk and placing it in my coat pocket. This scene foreshadows a later scene.
I leave class and try to leave the building but the main glass door is locked. I then go looking for the security guard and find him being eaten alive by some creature inside the elevator.
I run back to seek refuge in the same class I was working in earlier, but I drop my access card whilst running. I ran to my card, grab it, and then run back to class, but just before i enter, i’m grabbed by the creature and taken into the air.
Some brief close up quick shots of my reaction and the creatures fangs and eyes are shown as we grapple 5 metres in the air. The creature bites me on the neck. I pull my digital pen out from my coat pocket and drive it into the eye of the creature. It lets out a horrifying shriek and throws me to the ground. I then wake up at my desk.
Iv’e presumably fallen asleep whilst working on my animation, was it all a dream?
the security guard then walks in and tells me to leave, the same as before.
I then leave the uni, get on my bus and feel a pain in my neck. I check my neck and a close up shot exposes a bleeding bite wound. I look back at the uni from the upper deck bus window and see the silhouette of the creature standing on top of the building. A lighting strike then exposes the creature.
