Practice Story Board - Back To The Future

Shot

Shot one consists of an extreme close up of a clock, zooming out to a standard close up, then into a pan of various clocks. There is several clocks (diagetic sound) which can be clearly heard. Also it sounds very busy, and rushed. This is foreshadowing that the film will involve something to do with time, and also quite a busy wacky character will be part of it.

Shot 2
Here we have selected the close up of the futuristic machine which is opening the dog food. The distance is very closse here, so we can see in clear detail the elements of the machine which are involved. This shows the film is quite advanced, and there will be other complicated machines that are ahead of their time.

Shot 3
Here we have shown the shot of the lady presenter on the telly, directing information at us concerning recent stealings of petroleum, which is obviously dangerous. Here, all of the clicking and normal sounds comes to a halt, and there is silence except from the ladys voice. This has been done to ensure the audience clearly hears what she is saying, and so we can process that this will have an effect throughout the film. Like all of the previous, the shot is still in close up, panning the the left.

Shot 4
Shot 4 shows the boy walking into the door. Here the camera angle changes from a close up, to a zoom out then a mid shot. We can see his waist downwards, showing his skinny jeans and old Nike type trainers. This shows 80's may be roughly the time of this clip, as this was the style then. Also, he is carrying a skate board and backpack. This represents that he could still be a child/ teenager, possibly still in school.

Shot 5
Skate board hits the box of petroleum in shot 5. This is very significant to the story as we are shown that 'Doc' is the thief that the female reporter earlier established. Once again, all sound disappears around this, to show it is another important factor. Also it zooms to a close up, so we see it clearly.

Shot 6
Finally, we have picked the long shot of the boy being blown away by the amp as he has turned it up to full volume. The explosion is obviously fake, but has a significant play on the film, as it shows another futuristic element of the film, adding yet more foreshadowing that this film will involve the future.
