Story Board and Plot Outline

  This is a section of the story board we wrote.

  The gist of the story is a man witnesses someone being tortured on a webcam chat website (e.g. chatroulette.com) and has to save them.

   The film will start with a shot of the protagonist tied to a chair himself having been tortured, with the camera slowly zooming out to reveal that this is actually on a webcam. Cut to black and title at the bottom of the screen stating its the day before, we hear an alarm. The black will fade away as if it is from the POV of someone waking up, he will turn the alarm off. We get a montage of his daily activities- eating breakfast, brushing teeth, cycling to school, a lesson etc. He comes home, goes on chatroulette and come across a person being tortured. He calls the police but they disregard it, they think that it is a hoax. He uses his skills with computers to find out where the victim is held and goes to save him.

  We will use in and around Harry Goode's house for most of the filming. This is the road outside the house, we will use it as a scene for the montage of the protagonist's daily activities. He will be cycling down it, to school. It is a quiet road so we probably won't be interrupted too much while filming and there is a dark, wooded alley near by that could come in handy.





  This is a spare room we will use for the scene when the protagonist wakes up. There are several other room that we could use for that scene but this is a nice plain room that should do fine (after a few props to make it more appropriate for a teenager's room e.g. laptop and some clothes strewn over the place).

  This is Harry's dad's studio. We wanted a set that looks like a warehouse or some abandoned, dilapidated building for a torture scene. From the inside this studio work very well for that role.   

  As you can see, the inside of the studio could be quite eerie with the right lighting. We plan to have the victim tired to a chair, with a single source of light from above, in front of the tools- to the audience seeing a beaten person in front of a rack of tools could connote that he had been tortured, we wouldn't need to depict a graphic, gratuitous torture seen.
