Storyboard !

This is an idea we came up with as a group based on the arrival to a location in teen films !


I am going to explain our story board.
The method of arrival that we chose as a group was a skateboard, we felt this was best suited to our character as he is a bit of an outsider and a loser.
In the first few shots we see a variety of long/wide shots of the character traveling on his skateboard, we also decided in shot number 3 we would use a panning shot to follow him as he skateboards.
As the story progresses, our main character sees a couple of hoodlums which he is not very fond of and is also a little scared of, to show this in shots 4 and 5 we do close ups of both the hoodlums face and the main character. 
Due to the characters fear of the other boys, he accidentally falls off his skateboard (this can be seen in shot 6 with the use of a long shot which captures it)
Due to him falling, his skateboard manages to hit another one of the hoodlums resulting in him too falling over (these are also caught in a variety of mid/long shots)
We then see the group of boys which begin to chase the main character as he is on his way to college.
He however reaches an obstacle on his way, there is a bike path which he must wait at before crossing or else he will get hit. 
As we see him waiting to build tension that the other group of boys might catch him we chose to use Shot-Reverse-Shot, which will cut to the boys running towards him and getting closer, then a shot of him anxiously waiting for the bikes to end, then another shot of the boy who are now much much closer. (These can be seen in shots 12, 13 and 14)
Luckily, the bikes have now gone which means the main character can keep on running.
We then decided to be kind and allow him to reach college, tap his ID pass and get inside, leaving the hoodlums outside with no ID meaning they cant harm him, to show his excitement and their anger we will use another shot-reverse-shot to show the different expressions each of the characters are feeling.
