Storyboard- 'The Taking'

This is the official storyboard for our trailer, 'The Taking'. We have only drew out half of this as we had around 85+ scenes and cuts and this would have taken a long time to draw out.
As explained previously, We have five characters in this, One important (The main character) and one extra (The Mother).
In the end, we decided to follow similarly the layout of editing from the trailer 'Hours', we felt this went well with our own trailer, this is where we are heading.
The first nine scenes show each individual character for approximately 2s. The institution is also going to be shown within this time also for either 1-2s. During this, a voiceover from the main character will be played, telling the audience of her wonders and regrets.
The next nine scenes show the Mother telling her children she is going out to work, as she works night shifts. She then calls out Emily, (The main character) to talk over with her before she leaves.
The Mother tells the younger children to stop their fighting, kisses them goodbye and leaves. These scenes are all going to be cut even further so they last for 1-2s long.
 
We thought the black screens in 'Hours' was really effective and we wanted to use these in our own trailer, We then have these throughout to break up the different times in our trailer.
After this, the camera will show the characters in the living room watching a film that is more suited for adults, the young children are shown to look restless and want to go outside to play.
They are then shown putting on their outdoor wear, and are ready to go outside.
The next five finally show the two eldest characters talking about getting the children in as it is getting dark, Emily is responsible for them both.
I think that the first half of our storyboard has come out well, we hope to edit this so that it comes just under 2m.
