Summary - For my genre, mystery/suspense, I think i should better incorporate sounds, transitions, lighting, and cinematography. For cinematography, i'd like a sense of urgency, I also want the use of quick cuts that make sense. I want the characters to be lit in just the right way, which adds suspense overall.

Initial Storyboard

 

2) The film opening is going to be a mysterious scene set around 6-7pm, with 3 people trying to get away form someone else. In the scene, they'll all be killed off 1 by 1 in separate, smart ways. We plan for it to be very suspenseful and possibly scary. 

3) For camera angles we plan to use closeup shot, pov shot, panning shot, medium shot, long shot, over the shoulder shot, etc. 

4) For audio notes we may have a voiceover at the beginning.

5) For transitions, we want to fade to black, fade in, cutaway, and contrast cut.

6) We plan to also use text in our title cards/intro and then at the end credits.
