Photographic Storyboard

Shot 1: This is the establishing shot of Ellen being attacked by a stranger who turns out to be a vampire. The wide shot is used to establish the setting of this story and to show the environment Ellen is in - An isolated forest. Isolated locations are a common convention of horror films. It is shot using a black and white effect to show that, this was in the past and a flashback to the forthcoming story line.

Shot 2: A high angle shot of Ellen after she has been attacked, lying unconscious on the floor. The high angle is used to make Ellen look submissive as she is seen to be left for dead and in a weak position. Yet again a black and white effect is used to show this to be a flashback .

Shot 3: This is a close up of blood dripping down Ellens neck, after she has been bitten by the vampire. It has been used to show the detail and specifics of the attack, so that the audience will start to gather the idea that she has been attacked by a vampire. As in most 'vampire movies' the vampire bites the victims neck. Like the previous shots, this shot has the black and white effect, as this was in the past. 

Shot 4: High angle shot of Ellen after she awakes from her ordeal; its used to show her as weak due to her not understanding what has happened to her. The shot is now in colour so the audience can realise that this is present time. Ellen is seen to be crying as she is frightened over what has happened but notice how she is crying blood. Another convention of the 'vampire movie' is that they cry blood. The lighting is low key lighting too, as low key lighting is another convention to horror films. Also, due to the fact that vampire's can not be in direct sunlight (a convention) and the forest is sheltered from sunlight due to the trees. 

Shot 5: Medium shot of Ellen getting up, she is clearly upset and touches her neck due to feeling a pain there. 

Shot 6: A close up on her hand to show the blood which has came from touching her neck. The character now realises that she has an injury to her neck and it feels like teeth marks. 

Shot 7: Long shot of Ellen staggering about, after getting up off the ground. You can clearly see by her body language that she is dazed and confused. And is still in an isolated surrounding. 

Shot 8: Long Shot showing Ellen walking out of the forest into sunlight, she realises something is wrong as the sunlight is making her feel a burning sensation on her skin. (Convention of 'vampire movies' is that vampire's get burned by direct sunlight). Her skin is more pale too, showing a glowing of the sun on her.

Shot 9: Over the shoulder shot of her re-entering the forest, as she realises she is not affected in there. 

Shot 10: Close up of Ellen touching her fangs as she realises something is not right and feels strange. This is the first time the audience become fully aware that Ellen is a vampire as 'fangs' are seen as the most important feature to a vampire and would naturally associate them to her being one. 

Shot 11: Medium/close up of Ellen looking into her pocket mirror, only to see she has no reflection!!! Vampires having no reflection is another convention. She has now fully realised that she is indeed a vampire. 

Shot 12: Long Shot of Paul, a average teenager boy taking a stroll through the forest. 

Shot 13: Long Shot of Ellen sitting by a tree. She smells Paul's fresh blood and is alerted by this. Her vampire instincts start to kick in. 

Shot 14: Medium Shot of Ellen ready to attack her prey. Her body language shows this through her hand turning into a claw shape ... ready to grab him!!! Also by her mouth being open in a gritted shape. The audience is able to see Paul's facial expression of worry as he realises something is behind him. The audience at this point should start to feel the tension building, as she is now seen as the antagonist.

Shot 15: Extreme Close Up of Ellen biting into Paul's neck. The audience should now become scared of Ellen's character as she is now seen official as 'the monster' due to her carrying out the attack. 

Shot 16: Medium/Long Shot of the struggle which Paul now faces as Ellen has attacked him and got him in a weak position on the ground. Paul is seen as defenseless as  Ellen is in a more dominate position and Paul's arm is in mid air to show his helplessness. 

Shot 17: Low angle of Ellen looking down on Paul to make her the more powerful and dominant character.  

Shot 18: High Angle of Paul to make him seem like the weaker and submissive character. 

Shot 19: Medium Shot of Paul grabbing a chunk of wood to use to defend himself from Ellen. By the intense facial expression of Ellen you can tell she wants to kill him as Paul desperately tries to reach the wood. 

Shot 20: Medium Shot of Paul 'staking' Ellen through the heart with the wood. The 'staking of the heart' with a 'piece of wood' is also a common feature to vampire movies. 

Shot 21: High Angle of Ellen dying on the ground. The power status has now  changed as previously Paul was shot from a high angle, Ellen is now seen as the weaker character as she is shot form this angle. It is framed doing a dutch tilt, to make the audience feel uneasy about the goings on and also to show the power shift. 

Shot 22: Medium/Close up on Ellen's face she is now bleeding from the mouth due to being 'staked' in the heart. Shot from a high angle again to show her as the weak character. She now appears to be dead. 

Shot 23: Long shot of Paul running away to safety in the distance and Ellen left for dead on the ground. The 'monster' has now been defeated and the audience should feel revealed at this sight as the protagonist of Paul has managed to escape.
