Storyboard for the opening of In Thus Life
 |
| The photograph of the first six shots/scenes of the opening to the film- In Thus Life. As from the first shot/scene, we will be filming on the location of Tupton Bridge then Holmgate Park, by using the following shots of establishing shot, mid-shot, close-up and long-shots. The Mise-en-scene, the first character that will be seen in the first moments of the thriller will be dressed in casual clothing and the character that appears in the six shot/scene of the opening will be dressed in a dark robe with a ghoul's facemask. |
 |
| These seven to twelve shots/scenes of the following part to the opening, will have the character that appeared in the sixth shot/scene of the first storyboard part of the thriller. The locations for these parts will be in a dark atmospheric area then goes back to the Tupton Bridge. |
 |
| These shots/scenes of the following part to the opening, shows a memory of the main male character has he is having a flashback to one of his past memories. Showing him walking down a path to school's bus park and seeing a friendly face. The location for the shots/scenes is a school's Bus park and the tree which is in the Park. The costumes for the characters in these part of the opening to the thriller is the female dressing in casual, school-like clothing and the male in casual clothing too. The antagonist will be dressed in their dark robe with the ghoul's facemask.
In these photographs shows the storyboard for the thriller, as we have visual planned how the opening to the thriller would look like if my team decided to use these storyboard for the final thriller opening.
As for the beginning we planned to tell the story of our thriller for showing the end of the thriller to the audience that the main male character will die at the end but then show the start of the beginning of how the male character will die and the reason why he will be killed.
We thought that the way of starting the opening to the thriller is better than just showing the opening like most of the majority of films start, as this will make the audience watch the thriller as they will know the final outcome at the end of the thriller that the main male character will die at the end. This will make the audience be more interested in watching the thriller as the audience will want to find the reason why will the main male character will die at the end of the thriller.

Production, Distribution and Marketing and Promotion process
The 12 Steps of Film Production.
Idea Development
The writer of the film, comes up with the idea for the film by sources of inspiration, as he/ she may be inspired by books, magazines, plays and previous films. This influenced the writer may giving them ideas of development to their next new film.
After an initial idea is there, then the writer may want to take the idea further, as he/she may meet up with other writers to discuss the idea and improved or change the concept of the idea.
The next action for the idea is that its pitched in a production company, where the writer and production company will talk about potential cast members, budget costs and over-all profits.
Development Finances
In this stage, the studio makes an account for the writer's idea; this is where the studio and writer get potential funding for his/her rough idea to be turned into a final script ready for production.
In order, for the idea to be funded the producer has to either pursued for the money to produce the idea or the studio tries to sell broadcast rights in order to gain money.
Script Development
When the Development Finance is secured to make the idea into a film, firstly the writer will make a synopsis, then the writer and producer(s) will discuss and agree to the key events that will occur in the film.
Also in this stage, a date will be set for the first draft of the script for the film and sometimes writer(s) struggle to meet to this deadline. Every draft done is sent to the investors to look at and review the ideas. As well as they can add their own ideas to the draft.
Once the final draft is done, then the writers get their payment and the script is ready for filming.
Packaging
The script is finally packaged into a full commercial proposition. The producer(s) and the director discuss the investments for the film, as they are reviewed and exploit; such as general film sales and advertising rights. The casting for the film is successful done in this stage and a budget is drawn up accurately to turn the film-production into a genuine business, that is propositional for both the investors and people, who's going to help with filming and the making of the idea.
As well as the departmental professionals will discuss the potential finance may occur in making the film.
Financing
The producer(s) look at and cater their targeted audience for the film by researching, and sometimes the producer(s) may have to travel for financial purposes. Lawyers get involved in making investments official and legally bound to make the finance legal.
Sometimes if producer(s) and director are struggling with the funding specific loans to film-making, then they may have to borrow money from banks. Investors feel it necessary to have an insurance is in place, as this insurance is an act for a legal safety net for the investors money.
After funds are completely verified, the 'Green-light' is given by the studio for the producer(s) and the making of the film begins.
Pre-Production
The storyboard, the design and the special effects planning is begun in this stage for the making of the film. As all the finances are put together for features for the film as they're based on the budget.
The Shoot
In this stage, a chain of command is established to make sure that all things are taking place on the set. All costumes and accessories are established on the set, from make-up vans to acting areas. And the actors and actress do their part in the making of the film to make it a success. Also this is the key part of film making.
Post- Production
After all the filming is completed, the editors, the producer(s), the director looks at the footage, and edit or cut parts of the footage to make the final version of the film. Before they go to the next stage and let the press get involve with the film.
Sales
The interest for the film is done up, as a trailer for the film is created showing the footage that will be seen by audiences in the film itself. And the film is taken to the market and certain screening is taken place. The producer tries to sell his/her new film to a distributor to help to sell the film to the public.
Marketing
During this stage, the press gets involve with the film as they try to help with promoting the film.
The targeted audience impacts of how the new film is marketed as it depends on the footage and things is shown in the film. Also other ways such as adverts and the internet is used to promote the film.
Exhibition
A premier is taken place for an exclusive audience, such as high profile actors and actress, the producer(s), the director and special guests comes to the film's premier. This is always done on the 'red carpet' as its a way to interest the general public to watch the new film. Therefore shortly the film is released to the general public to watch.
Other Windows
Along with the new film released, merchandise may be released to help to make some money for the film. Another way is that the film will probably be released on DVD or/and a game will be created as its base on the film. Or a sequel to the film may be made or in production to continue on the story of the original (first) film.
