Woman looks round at her clock and in the background we see a picture of her and her husband on the bedside table. Her room is a mess, the floor is untidy with clothes strewn about like she came in last night and threw everything off and on the floor, a few make up products knocked over on a dressing table. Pan across the mess in her room slowly zooming in. Fade to black.

Image 4 – The Hole (Same model as scene 3)
Scene Overview – Cut in. Static noise continues into this scene. Beginning with our hole image (Or duplication of this image), woman looks into hole. Camera begins in the mid shot of our image, rotates roughly 145˚ around her until it’s in the hole itself with a mid/low angle shot looking up at her through the hole. As the camera is rotating she leans in and her hand begins to reach towards the hole. Static noise fades out. Scene fades to black as she continues to reach in.
Image 5 – Empty Hospital
Scene Overview – Cut in. Flatline noise screams. Woman walks past and turns off a heart monitor that’s not linked up and just flatling next to an empty bed. Mid shot of wall and bed, as woman walks past the shot becomes a close up of her nurse’s watch and ID tag. Cut to low angle shot camera pans around a hospital ward. Cut to black.
Image 6 – Autopsy (Same model as scene 7)
Scene Overview – Cut in to a mid shot. A man is doing an autopsy on a woman’s corpse, with a table of blood stained tools at his side.

Image 7 – Chopped liver (Same model as scene 6)
Scene Overview – Noise of the woman’s heart beating. First person perspective. Woman lying on her back looking up at a bland ceiling with big operating theatre lights hanging down over her. Camera lingers there, then comes out of first person perspective and slowly rotates 90˚ looking down her body. (Like she’s lifting her head *BUT SHES NOT*) Then the camera zooms in towards her open chest and then zooms out and upwards. As the lights begin switching off until we are left in darkness. (The first light to turn off will be the one illuminating her face therefore we never see who it is)
OR
Then the camera zooms in towards her open chest and as it runs over her chest turns into a bird eye view shot. The lights begin to turn off. The camera zooms out from her chest and into a tracking shot down her legs.

Narrative Project
Losing the Plot
Have I enjoyed the Narrative Project? Only a little bit to be honest. If it wasn’t for Christmas I would have shot myself. We started off well with all 5 of us coming up with some good plot ideas, we chose mine as a starting point but come the crit the idea was blown out of the water and never mentioned since. For the first 5 weeks or so we came up with about 3 or 4 different ideas and wasted time drawing out all of the storyboards for each but in the end all the concepts had no personality or style. Soldering on we finally got our concept sorted and produced detailed storyboard finals to prepare for production.
