Storyboard

 1)  0:00-0:10 Our film will open with the Irish Film Board ident (IFB). After some research, I found that this would be the production company that we would be more likely to pitch our film to because it's local and it's in-keeping with our style. A orchestral instrumental soundtrack will start in sync with this.

 2) 0:10-0:20 Following this will be the ident of our own film company, named 'Bronze Age Films'. We plan to make our own ident for this using a number of softwares. Normally there are a number of comapanies that work on a period drama, however only the main ones are featured in the beginning title sequence.
The name is something that I would typically assosiate with Ireland and history and is so perfect for representing our film.

3) 0:20-0:25 Historical insight at the start of a period drama is not unusual and is quite often necessary to give the audience some insight. The first lines will be "The Islandmagee witch trial took place in 1710-1711"... Small white text positioned off centre on a black background. Clear cut, simple and stands out. We can now hear asynchronous sounds of nature, trudging and crying.

4) 0:25-0:30 Fade in more text gradually before the whole slide fades out giving way to the very first scene.

4) 0:30-0:40 The very first scene comes in and it's a medium shot of our female protagonist running through the woods and crying, holding a letter in her hands of her conviction of witch craft.

5) 0:40-0:45 This is interjected by another fade in black slide as seen in the duchess along with many other period dramas. This time the line is "Islandmagee is now known as northern Ireland", which gives the audience some geographical background.

6) 0:45-0:50 The next line fades in saying "The Islandmagee witch trial was the last witch trial that Northern Ireland ever saw". Personlly, I thing this gives more importace to the story by showing just how significant these exact events were. The last slide of historical background information fades out, giving way to the real shots.

7) 0:50-1:00 We see a long shot that emphasises location and diastase. the protagonist is runing towards some ancient irish ruins, still crying and holding the letter.
The credits are a constant, positioned strategically around the frame.

8) 1:00-1:10 There is a medium shot from behind the protagonist now...

9) 1:05-1:20 there is a 15 second constant pan from the wall where the ruins end, right across to the window so that we can see the protagonist again, as shown above. The speeds will slow when the protagonist is in view, but will speed up however when we can see wall.

10) 1:20-1:40 'The fall'... This is basically a medium shot from side on, showing that our protagonist has fallen in the mud, where she drops the letter and begins to sob profusely. This will provoke empathy ad pathos from our audience, setting an emotional depth from the very start.

11) 1:40-1:50 There is an over the shoulder shot, showing the protagonist picking up the letter and possibly a close up on her hand so that we can see what is written, otherwise there will be a narrative. But I'm not sure we will have time for one.

12) 1:50-2:00 High angle shot showing how desperate and somewhat pathetic the protagonist is, provoking empathy.

13) 2:00 The main movie title is yet to be decided but will most likely be plain and simple.
