In the previous post i explained that a prop. may get an importance linking 2 scenes at different sequence and may establish logic. On seeing the forthcoming scene ,the audience might feel wow or some undeciphered plot may come to be perceived well. So I have given this a close shot in order to show that it has got some importance in the narration and may come to unlock an important knot of the story. In the making the close shot of this key is shown in a lapse of time i.e,in few seconds and the shot cuts to next frame or scene.The shaky effect is to show the human nature as it is handled by human. This shaky camera frames is shown from the subject point of view.i.e, the character who is playing the rol

Storyboard - shot 4

tamizhpanimanai.com view cinematics on  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGMc1YdNT_g This is a spontaneous shot showing his hand holding a gun.i assume this shot to be shown with camera shakes which transceds the nature and the speed of the character,the speed emphasizes that he is keen on finding something other than the gun. The shot is such that the scene happens natuarally,shows the audience the gist of things that he holds and the important thingover this is that any prop that is shown in this spontainity can make a difference in the forth coming scenes especially in the climax as i have mentioned in the previous shot.yes the audience need to closely observe the props provided that they will miss out the certainity which is the exact intent of the filmmaker.yes they will try to distract you from focusing on these props as they want a to give you a wow factor in the forthcoming scenes,where the audience mostly realize,that "oh" or "oops",meaning

3rd shot

                                                                tamizhpanimanai.com view cinematics on  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGMc1YdNT_g The 3rd shot features the character from diagnol point of view. on rear side.On looking at this shot,it infers that he is looking into the box either he is searching some thing or taking something out.what he exactly does can be known from the next shot. Now noting from the previous shots we can say that the lighting is pointed towards the box,which is going to give something that takes you to the next shot.so shot by shot we come to know that the actual composition of the shot helps build a scene either directly or indirectly. next shot should either be a resultant shot lead from this box sequence,which can be summarised in 3 points :  1 . it may be a continous sequence which tells you what happens next that is lead from this box       scene.it could lead to a prop. that amy take you into next scene.     2. it may cut to other

Storyboard...A script with visuals,without camera.

                                                              official website view cinematics on  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGMc1YdNT_g Hai.Here I have posted the second shot from the script.Lighting forms the path for the man.Its to indicate the visual metaphor.Its a dutchtilt shot.I have used this shot to increase the suspense level.even now i have hidden the face of the man beneath the flap of his hat.to be precise,i could better say that the placement of the hat in frame hides his face.the camera angle supports it.Let me increase the suspense in the forth coming shots.And remember that this is a sample work for one of my friends script. The man walks along the light.Naturally when we enter a room of dark,we would try to locate the inner with the available light.but here the light is directed through the door opening.Indeed the illumination is through the shape of the opening and the characterstic of the light is to travel in straight path as it can't bend.This di

Storyboarding...An Unsung craft
