We have agreed on the idea and started a storyboard rough sketch to envision what the shots would look like and the style of drama we were trying to emmulate.
We wanted to start the scene establishing the setting so we have Jenn laying in her bedroom and she gets up to go to school for the day. We want to convey a very positive attitude and lifestyle for Jenn. Everything is going good in her life and it will be another successful school day for her. We wanted to incoporate a symbol in the beginning that would foreshadow a scene later in the opening. Since the ending is Jenn answering a phone call and discovering her father's passing, we will have a beautful healthy flower in the beginning when she leaves for school. Once she returns the flower is more dead and gray to show that something is about to happen engaging the audience more. There are several shots of her at school, talking to friends, enjoying the rest of the day. Towards the end of the day, we want to convey the message that despite Jenn being in a crowded room, she begins to feel alone. Her car ride back will be quiet and give a sense of sadness. The coloring, lighting, and mise en scene will also emphasize this effect.
This page is a continuation of Jenn walking into her room and seeing that the flower looks dead even though she watered it that morning. The next set of shots are going to be edited faster and the pace of the film will pick up with Jenn's phone ringing and her mom calling her. Maybe a split screen can show the mom's emotions to how Jenn is going to react. Then as soon as Jenn hears the breaking news there will be a close up as her emotion changes completely. Her phone is going to fall with the camera following it and then the title will appear of the movie.
