ASSIGNMENT 3
Explanation of story
My story uses the yellow tinge on purpose, to show something secretive and dark and not so out in the open compared to if i use"whiter light". The yellowish lighting gives it a mysterious feel. Inthis storyboard,the protagonist has a letter waiting for her. She opens it and is at first shocked. She takes a second look at the envelope to see if it is a prank. It is not.Next the storyboard zooms in what the message is : "I KNOW YOUR SECRET". THe last scene leaves us with a crushed paper. We do not know if the protagonist crushed it because its all nonsense or if it is true and she's so afraid that someone knows her secret that she crushed it and threw it away. This cliffhanger ending leaves things unclear and that's my intention.
Inspiration
My story is inspired by this fantastic film entitled “The Letter”, which stars the inimitable Bette Davis. In the film, a letter discovered could potentially destroy her life and she has to do everything she can to keep her life within her control.
My story is done in such a way that aims to be slow paced and purposefully tedious. This story is not exactly like that of “The Letter” but it does borrow the aspect of a “deadly letter”. Here in my story, the protagonist receives a letter which is seemingly strange and most definitely deadly. The story ends with a cliffhanger and we do not know what happens next.
The above image contains some original images used but were later discarded because i feel that they do not aid my story. The original letter was too long and wordy and not as impactful as "I KNOW YOUR SECRET". That is why i did not use it in the end.
