Storyboard - High Stakes

High Stakes

 

Creating the breakdown of the film helped a lot since it narrowed down the options of what to try and make. I ended up picking "High Stakes" as the title, this title made sense to me since the Poker Game that is being played in the beginning is all about trying to win since "everything" is on the line. Below is the film's storyboard. 

Storyboard

First Box: Establishing shot of the Film Opening. It will be a High Angle of the Poker Table, with the Title of the Film either getting integrated into the Table or having the Title Pop Out to contrast the Poker Table.

Second Box: Medium shot of Player 1 (Main Character) walking towards the Card Table (Tracking Shot). This helps introduce the setting where the Film will take place. After this then the camera will flip, and we will now have a perspective of the dealer, as he starts to deal each card to each player the Character Card will be shown.

Third Box: This will be the Character Card of Player 1. The Film will stop for a few seconds to display the Character Card. Introducing us to "Jack of All Trades", then giving a few key details or some personality traits. Panning to the next Player to introduce them.

Fourth Box: This will be the Character Card of Player 2. The Film will stop for a few seconds to display the Character Card. Introducing us to "TBD - Possibly Cowboy/Cowgirl", then giving a few key details or some personality traits. Panning to the next Player to introduce them.

Fifth Box: This will be the Character Card of Player 3. The Film will stop for a few seconds to display the Character Card. Introducing us to "TBD - Prince/King", then giving a few key details or some personality traits. After this Player is introduced it will resume the Poker Game.

Sixth Box: The game is resumed, and everyone is playing the game normally, with no one cheating or someone trying to bend the rules. 

Seventh Box: Disequilibrium occurs, this will be a mix of Option 1 and Option 2. This means that it will start with a loud noise that will disrupt the game, leaving all the players confused as to what just happened since this game was supposed to be a secret game/Unknown hence the movie being called High Stakes. Then it will proceed to show who caused the commotion.

Eighth Box: When showing who caused the commotion, something will occur leaving the This is the Cutoff of the film, which   is what leaves the viewer on a cliffhanger. This helps lead them to want to watch more of it since
