More Storyboarding

I decided to draw up a storyboard as a way of visualising my ideas so far in an attempt to assess what works and what doesn't and to notice any holes in the storyline.

Shot Description

1. ECU of kettle boiling.
2. ECU of boiling water being poured into a tea cup.
3. ECU of milk being poured into a tea cup.
4. ECU of tea being stirred.
5. Establising shot of table - Homeless Man (HM) is already sat down, Support Worker (SW) walks into shot with cup of tea and sits down.
6. ECU of SW sliding cup of tea over to HM.
7. CU of SW.
8. CU of HM.
9. Overhead shot of SW picking up questionnaire and reading.
10. CU of SW with questions from questionnaire floating around his head - either projected there or layered on top of the clip with the matte tool. There will also be a voice over of SW reading the questions aloud in his head.
11. Establishing shot of the two characters at the table again.
12. Shot of SW at one end of the table looking in direction of HM.
13. Shot of HM at other end of table looking in direction of SW.
14. CUof both characters merging into each other through a long cross dissolve.
15. ECU of SW eyes.
16. ECU of HM eyes.
17. CU of SW looking slightly confused.
18. Over-the-shoulder shot of SW at one end of table.
19. ECU of HM sliding cup of tea to SW.
20. CU of SW looking really concerned.
21. CU of HM.
22. CU of SW surrounded by small interview clips of people describing homelessness and homeless people. These will be either projected or layered on top of the clip.
23. Really quick shot - CU of SW in HM clothes examining himself.
24. Over-the-shoulder shot of HM at opposite end of table in his own clothes again.

These ideas are still in the early stages of development but will hopefully form a good platform for a practise shoot.
