Planning.
Storyboard:
1. Home movie scene of a 4 year old girl in a paddling pool in the garden, with a significant looking locket around her neck. Her Mum talking in the background who is holding the video camera saying ‘smile Eleanor-Rose‘. The girl is laughing and smiling and looking happy. Shot in black and white colour to show the video clips were from the past.
2. Running through enclosed, dark woods, using track. Short and quick shot.
3. Home movie of the girls 6th birthday in her house, singing ‘Happy Birthday‘ from people in the background, again showing the locket around her neck. In black and white to show the video clip was filmed in the past but shows her gradual growth.
4. Running through the enclosed woods, the speed of the clip is increased and heavy breathing is heard in the background.
5. Holiday snap of a family photo, showing the girls‘current looking age, showing the locket again.
6. Black screen with white writing appearing on the screen saying ‘THEY NEVER EXPECTED IT TO HAPPEN‘.
7. A poster of a missing girl wearing her locket, on a lamp post, with news commentary behind speaking about the missing girl.
8. Close up of a mobile phone, lying on the leaves in the woods, the screen bright, showing ‘mum calling‘.
9. Black screen with white writing appearing on the screen saying ‘WILL THEY EVER SEE HER AGAIN? ‘Heavy breathing in the background which leads to an echoed scream as the writing fades.
10. Quick shot of a hand in the leaves embracing the locket.
11. The screen goes to black, as this happens a dead dialling tone is heard.
12. The name ‘Eleanor-Rose‘ is shown on the black screen.
With our running scenes we will use a handheld camera as it can produce a jerky, bouncy, unsteady image, which may create a sense of immediacy or chaos and this is the effect we are aiming for.

Predicted time lengths of each scene:
1. 10 seconds- As this is the opening scene, a ten second length scene is a decent time to give an insight into the feel of the film, and to allow the audience to become familiar with the characters.
2. 5 seconds- This scene is 5 seconds long as it is an establishing shot of the main storyline and a chain scene which we will refer back to several times to build more tension on the events that are taking place in this in particular shot.
3. 10 seconds- This is another home movie scene where the audience can become familiar with the characters and therefore ten seconds will be a reasonable time length.
4. 3 seconds- The second chase scene is less lengthy as the enigma is growing stronger and to build the tension the scene is shortened.
5. 4 seconds- A family photo to familiarise the audience with the family and to recognise the main character for a few seconds.
6. 3 seconds- This scene is short as there are only words for the audience to take in, additionally the shorter the scene the more of an enigma is added.
7. 7 seconds- This scene is slightly busier to the others and contains more action, so therefore 7 seconds is an average length of time.
8. 5 seconds- This scene is another establishing twist scene and 5 seconds enables the audience to take in and imagine what the scene will lead to.
9. 5 seconds- This scene holds the key to what has happened and allows the audience to guess what has happened, therefore after 5 seconds there will be a sense of shock, which will carry on through to the next.
10. 2 seconds- This scene is 2 seconds to add greater tension.
11. 7 seconds- This scene cuts off all the action and takes the audience away from the trailer, leaving them wondering on the exact final events that took place.
12. 5 seconds- This scene is 5 seconds as it’s the finishing scene and allows the audience to relate the girl and the film title.
