Final Storyboarded Idea

Even though our final idea did take considerably longer to complete than the other groups, we as a group finally managed to complete the storyboard explaining our idea. The story is as follows:

Brief Description of Action

Shot 1) Film opens with shot of plug socket. As non-digetic radio talking goes on, the camera pans across the room, following the plug. The plug eventually leads into the bathroom.

Shot 2) The non-digetic soundtrack makes the scene contrapuntal. We see a dead body face down in a bath full of water. The radio ends and the shot turns to black.

Shot 3) Extreme close-up of a body of water. Eventually, a drop of blood falls into the water to turn the water red. The camera slowly tracks up.

Shot 4) As the audience thinks death, it turns out to be a man who has cut himself shaving. A split mirror points out the split personality of the character. He stares at his reflection for many seconds.

Brief description of Action

Shot 5) Low angle shot of psychiatrist. Dialogue will be put into the scene. Psychiatrist makes himself far superior to the patient.

Shot 6) High angle shot of the patient. We feel sorry for the patient at this point, making himself rather inferior to the psychiatrist. The room’s colour will reflect the mood of the patient.

Shot 7) Shot of the country side, the dolly shot will go across the field and capture natures beauty, contrapuntal to the story line ( Possible title sequence to go here)

Shot 8) The patient is getting changed into his smart attire. There’s rapid editing at this point between shot 8 and shot 9.

Brief Description of Action

Shot 9)A clock on the counter is going anti-clockwise. Rapid editing between last shot at this point.

Shot 10) Main character beings to go crazy after the rapid editing. The mental psyche of main character begins to break here.

Shot 11) Wide shot of the main character sitting down, looking at his hands. The shot isolates the character as well as better continues the physical sign of his psyche failing.

Shot 12) Point of view shot towards the radio on the desk top. This is ment to be symbolic of the 1st shot and the radio used then.

Brief description of Action

Shot 13) Darkened out room and lamp motivate the psychiatrist to work. The psychiatrist is writing his notes. The darkness amplifies the idea of secrecy within his work.

Shot 14) Close up of the documents show that he is reviewing the main character.

Shot 15) Almost parallel to the psychiatrist, the main character, too, is writing. But instead of documents, he’s writing a note. Again, isolation is the key theme with this part.

Shot 16) Upon close up, we see what he has written. This is to imply that somehow the patient and the psychiatrist are connected.

Brief Description


17) The main character is told by his psychiatrist to close his eyes and breath as a different means of 'help'


18) However, something appears to be wrong. The main character faints as the psychiatrist puts on his coat.


19) To hide the body, the psychiatrist is seen taking the body up a flight of stairs to the bathroom.


20) As the psychiatrist leaves the crime scene in the bathroom, we see a note on the bathroom door saying 'Life is precious, but not to me.'

Brief description


21) After the suicide is revealed to be a murder, and the murderer walks away, the climax to the film is revealed.


22) End Credits.
