Animatic - Storyboard
This is our storyboard but into an animatic using Final Cut Pro, we then added the soundtrack we are going to use and the sound effects similar to the actions performed.
We put this into an animatic to get a basic idea of what the sequence is roughly going to look like, showing the rule of thirds, camera shots and angles and props used.

Storyboard
Amnesia - Storyboard
These are the shots in order of our thriller that we plan to shoot in January, these shots consist of camera angles, close ups, mid-shots and long-shots. I have added a close up every 3 or 4 shots to fit the thriller genre as close ups in a thriller build mystery and suspense.
Key : MC = Main Character
S = Silhouette (2nd Character)
P = Prop e.g. cigarette or suitcase
HA = High Angle
LA = Low Angle
This is our first shot which is a close up our main character (Detective Cole), the protagonist of our thriller, while he is being brainwashed with a gag strapped around his mouth.
We plan to use a prop that will hold the characters eyes open that will look realistic as be can't use something that will harm the actor or that needs good editing and effects to cover it such as the prop they use in the Clockwork Orange.
The second shot is a long-shot, again of the main character being brainwashed, however I have chose to use a high angle shot showing that the character is weak.
This time you can see the actual projector and the fact that his hands are tied to the chair.
The third shot is a reverse over the shoulder shot, looking back at the silhouette who is the antagonist of our thriller, while h observes the brainwashing, sat back smoking in his chair.
I chose to make him a silhouette to create mystery and suspense, keeping his identity a mystery. This is influenced by the Usual Suspects.
Shot four is another long-shot of the room, this time both of our characters are revealed in the story.
This shot is a close up of our antagonist, the silhouette, his face is hidden, and we only get small glimpses of his face from the light coming off of the cigarette.
I have done this from a low angle to portray his power over the main character.
The sixth shot is another close up from a side view of the silhouette again, also from a low angle.
In this shot I hope to use the light from the cigarette as his inhales it to reveal an unclear view of his eyes, however there will not be enough detail to reveal his identity.
The seventh shot is a close up of the silhouette putting out his cigarette, as be see our main character in the background.
This could also be an over the should shot.
Here is a mid-shot of the main character with his hands tied up to the back of the chair.
He will try and struggle to free his hands, however he is not successful.
The ninth shot is a mid-shot of the main character being brainwashed again, the rule of thirds match his eyes with the projector.
We are then shown the projector images that he is being brainwashed with, a close up of the screen. As you can see there will be brutal images shown to portray the torture of this brainwash.
This is another long-shot of the room, this time it reveals an exit, however how the main character escapes is not revealed to us.
I have decided to reveal the identity of our main character in shot thirteen and fourteen using confidential documents with the name and portrait of the detective.
An over the shoulder shot is used in this to view the silhouette looking over the brainwashing as it comes near to an end.
This is a close up of our main character, showing hints of insanity in his facial expressions.
The last two shots of the brainwashing scenes consist of two extreme close ups of our main characters face showing the flashing images in his eyes. The title of the thriller is revealed as it appears in his eye, also showing that the character is metaphorically affected by amnesia.
The first shots of the London sequence is of our main character walking to work through the London crowds, focusing on him and his suitcase, a classic prop in a thriller. These shots consists of close ups, mid-shots and long-shots using a close up every 3 or 4 slides as many thrillers have the same pattern.
Shot twenty four, five and six consist of our character lighting up a cigarette, another classic prop for a thriller.
We shoot low angles of our main character as he is a detective, of which have power within society.
Shot twenty seven and eight we decided to make our character answer his phone as he arrives at the building, we merely hear this conversation to build a mystery around this character.
Our last shots to the thriller sequence are a match on action of our main character opening the door and entering the building, with our final shot of the door closing behind him.

The sequence then flashes to the detective walking to work through the streets of London, as if everything is normal and nothing has happened.

Test Shots
These are the actors that we have chosen to be suitable for our thriller:
Actor: Peter Spencer Peter will play the antagonist, the silhouette who will oversee the brain washing of Detective Cole, he will need to be able to smoke a cigarette in order to fulfill the role of the silhouette. He will barely be seen as he is a silhouette to create mystery throughout the first part of the sequence, therefor any actor would be suitable for the role.
Actor: Anthony Denford Anthony will play the protagonist, Detective Cole who will be the victim of the brainwashing, he will also have to smoke a cigarette in order to fulfill the role of Detective Cole. He is suitable for the role as he is looks old enough to have a wife, he also looks innocent and confident which are the traits of our character Detective Cole.
Actress: Sarah Mead Sarah was originally going to play the role of Mrs Cole, however we decided that we do not need any more than two actors to complete the sequence, if we was shooting the whole film then she would obviously be a key role as she is murdered of which is involved in creating the twist at the end of the thriller.
