My Storyboard!

Here it is... the Story board!

It is finally here! Over the past couple day I was thinking of how could make my plot better and I decided to add some more ideas into my storyboard. When the character is looking outside, he will see a group of kids playing together outside on the street. This will be creating a contrasting effect as the kids are friends with each other and he has no friends in the new area. I also decided to implement POV shots of the protagonist to portray his perspective of his life and make the audience feel as if they are watching from his POV. 

I have also decided to make a specific box in the car "special" as they contain pictures of the protagonist and his past friends. At the beginning where close ups of boxes and bags in the car are shown, the box with the pictures will be labeled with the protagonists name and will also have more screen time than the other items to signify it's importance. Later on, that same box will be carried into the protagonist rooms and a close up, zoom in of the box will be shown to further make the audience question the contents of the box. The protagonist will take out the pictures and the scene will cut to the protagonist in the restroom. 

In the restroom, I am considering implementing the "frame within a frame" technique as the protagonist is leaning against the bathroom counter; I might do this with the bathroom door. The protagonist will look at themself through the reflection of the mirror to convey their emotions as they "reflect over themself". I want to implement a match shot because I think it will be a unique technique in my piece.
