"Distrutto" Development Stage:

When beginning the development of our teaser trailer, C.S.S. productions wasted no time in constructing a narrative to use as a rough guideline.

Chris was responsible for writing the story and events that would take place. Scott was responsible for handling our research that we would refer back to often. I took the liberty of writing the script and illustrating the storyboard.

Synopsis:

The plot is short but complex. It features a couple who break up (to prevent our audience from identifying out teaser trailer as a romance). Afterwards, the pace picks up as the ex's boyfriend (hero) saves his ex from a deal that is made with a group of antagonists. The dispatcher then guides the hero on his thrilling quest.

I illustrated the storyboarding using my ideas of camera shots and visual aspects including the clothes that the characters wear, the lighting, setting etc.

I intended to raise suspense and create rythm with the storyboard by including flash cuts and fades with non-diegetic ambient sounds and beats. Camera angles and distances attempt to thrill the audience in as many ways as I could think of. I feel this storyboard will fulfil the genre's purpose of thrilling the audience.

Script 2:

We decided to keep the amount of dialogue at the minimum so that it will not clash with the upbeat soundtrack that leads towards the peak of our teaser trailer.
