Transcript of Film Opening Storyboard Insidious
Edit/Length of Shot: 0-‐9
Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: The film opening starts with the camera slowly moving downwards revealing what looks like an edited circle/orb object. It has the director’s name in the centre. It is an extreme close up of a mysterious object. This straightaway highlights the genre and confusion and suspense is raised.
Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX: There is no actual music or dialogue in the opening so far, only a non-‐diegetic eerie sound in the background which sounds like the start to a song. The pitch of the note is fairly high which makes it sound scary and puts the viewer on edge.
Edit/Length of Shot: 10-‐16
Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: In this shot it is revealed that the mysterious orb object is actually a light. The camera rotates 180 degrees in this shot and also begins to move downwards. The director’s name slowly fades out making it evident that the object is a light. The camera doesn’t zoom in or out throughout this clip.
Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX: The same non-‐diegetic music is also used in this part of the film opening. But now it sounds more like a haunting song rather than sounding like an eerie note of music. This music stays the same and is continuous throughout a large portion of the opening.
Edit/Length of Shot: 17-‐29
Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: In this clip the camera is slowly panning down the room revealing a young boy lying in his bed. He is looking directly at the camera, which makes the viewer confused as to why he would be alone in bed at night looking straight ahead of him. The camera then carries on into the next shot without cutting and editing clops together.
Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX: There is still the same non-‐diegetic music in the background in this part of the opening
Edit/Length of Shot: 30-‐43
Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: The opening is one long continuous shit, meaning that it is not lots of short clips that has been edited together to be one. It is a continuous flowing clip. This particular part shows what looks like a kitchen, with the figure of a woman behind the curtains. The camera then slowly pans round to the right and goes through a doorway. The lighting is very dark creating a scary vibe.
Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX:
Edit/Length of Shot: 57secs -‐ 1:09
Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: In this part of the film opening the camera is slowly moving towards what looks like a doll/ghost/demon. It looks like the camera is zooming towards her face in this clip. It starts of as a long shot and ends up as a close up so that we can see detail in the demons face. The lighting in this shot is extremely dark; we can only see the demon as they are holding a candle under their chin.
Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX: There is still no dialogue so far in the opening. The music has increased in tempo and sounds very dramatic as we see the scary demon. This makes the viewer feel like something bad is going to happen as the music intensifies
Edit/Length of Shot: 1:10 – 1:19
Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: In this clip of the opening it starts as a black screen. The title ‘Insidious’ then quickly pops up as if to make the viewer jump. This highlights the genre of the film as horror films typically make the viewer or the audience jump. The title is red, which is associated with blood and the colour of evil. The font of the title is also very old fashioned maybe highlighting the era that the film is set in.
Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX: The sound in this clip starts off as a silence. A loud noise that sounds slightly like screaming is introduced at the same time that the title pops up. There is no dialogue at all throughout the film opening, making the viewer feel confusion and creates mystery as to what is going on.
