Sequence

The final piece of my story board, I tried to capture the essence of a marvel comic strip, but used the colour red as the symbol blood and death, I should really this piece "Red Rum" in an echo of the film and book "The Shining".
The main plot to this storyboard is whether the man is really seeing things or is he going mad, I kinda did base it on the story line of "the Shining" but depicted it in a different way.

Man is lonely depress and full of regret, his house has not been clean for a while, decides to clean, has he is carryiing boxes and plates to the other side of the room he begins to see thing such as the box of bottles turning into bricks basically a metaphor for the weight of guilt on his life. "Did he murder someone?" " did he do something bad?". These are all the things that I have left out in story, for viewers to discuss.

Towards the end of the story a half empty cup ("Pessimisim") turns into a knife and then into a gun in which he inevitably shoots himself. Obviously a very confusing ending as to why a cup could kill someone, but I feel its a moral ending to whats real and what not.



I love Maya Deren’s style of filming; her use of sudden transition between scenes inspires me. She was a pioneering thing back in 1940’s apparently, filming in that time wasn’t as common as it is now. I’ve come across her a couple of years ago when I was in A-level and just rediscovered her when thinking of an influence for quick transition and I found her on some blog.



"The Shining" one of my main influences for this project. is a phsycological thriller made in the 1980s and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The film is ( as you can see by the picture) a bit weird, but none the less enjoyed it. I mainly focused on how the film was edited and directed with its transition between scene seemingly very perculiar. However at the same time I loved, instead it changes and relooks at the same scene with a different perspective, making it feel like its yourself that is going mad. So yeah basically this is how i want to represent my film and try to capture the image that "The Shining" portrays.
