Changes in the storyboard

As a group, during the filming in the basement we have changed some parts of the storyboard to adapt to the setting. In the storyboard it starts off by a swinging light and then a shot of Serhan sitting on the chair and then me (Aslihan) entering through the door. However to make it more effective and to create tension we have decided to emphasise on Aslihan walking up to the room, simultaneously not explicitly showing her face (enigmas). We have done this because we wanted to concentrate on the main character (Aslihan) and make it obvious that the audience is on her "side". Also, because when we wanted to show Serhan, we wanted to create a sort of "surprise" for the audience as it would be unexpected, due to the female characters connotations of helplessness, the disturbing light flashing to the camera would create a better effect rather than the swinging light interwoven with the credits, this is because the credits interwoven with the actions instead would make a better opening, as it would seem like a soap if it was interwoven with the swinging light. As a group we believe these changes have improved the production, the storyboard allowed us to see what could be improved because it acted as a visual aid to visualise how the opening would flow and what effects it would have to the audience.

We also considered that for the last shot, where a car is needed, may not be possible. So to avoid disappointment we made a "back up" plan where if there is no car we would end the scene with the door closing and the camera concentrating on the newspaper article rather than entering the car.

There was also a plan for creating a basement setting. If no basement was available we planned on using black paper to cover windows of any ordinary room, and using a low voltage light bulb to create a "gloomy" affect. Luckily, we had an available basement.

The initial idea of concentrating on a photo frame of the murdered fiancee was changed because we wanted to make it more explicit to the reason of Aslihans actions in the first scene. We considered on creating a newspaper by using Microsoft Publisher, however we resorted to a simpler idea on using a laptop and making it seem as though the news was being read through he Internet. This also works better as it has representations of the change in era, and the improved technology for the current generations.
