The storyboarding begins ..

As a starting point and a source of inspiration for our initial storyboard, we started with creating a mind map on the issue of homelessness;

Points in red = physical connotations of homelessness

Points in green = typical results of being homeless

Points in purple = feelings of a typical homeless person

Points in dark blue = characteristics of a typical homeless person 

By constructing this we came up with a list of ideas for shots that we shoul like in our teaser trailer;

Preferable Shots (In no particular order)
- establishing shots of buildings in London
- wide shot of protagonist stood still with people walking around them. Shot then sped up to show passing of time
- high angle shot protagonist in a corner with knees to their chest
- close up of pigeons eating
- Shot of protagonist eating scrap of food
- quick shots of tramps, rubbish bins, graffiti, and general grime
- shot of protagonist sleeping rough
- high angle tracking shot of protagonist running
- shot of protagonist being held at the throat
- shot of protagonist stealing purse
- high angle POV shot from pedestrian seeing her beg
- POV shot from protagonist walking through a crowd
- shots of protagonist kicking bin bags to show frustration
- close up of crying protagonist
- close up crumpled big issue
- shots of protagonist drinking/drunk with blurred editing
- shots of written words on cardboard sheets

Our next step in the storyboarding process is to put these shots in a preferred order and draw it onto a storyboard template
