Storyboard Planning

During one of our Media Studies lessons we were asked to analyse the opening to the thriller “One Hour Photo.” The opening sequence was very short and was only 30 – 40 seconds long. However, there were many different shots in this sequence and some lasted only half a second long. This made us think about just how many shots there were in this short amount of time. Thrillers use many shots to make the film seem more realistic. We were asked to storyboard the opening and we realised how time consuming this was.
