Storyboards for 'Aren't you Glad you Didn't turn on the Lights'

Over the Easter Break I've worked on my storyboards for 'The Lights'. I started with a copy of our most recent script and worked from there. For the opening conversation between Sam and Danny I've kept this quite simple, just a back and forth camera cutting. For the takeaway sequence this whole part may just get condensed into one shot to save time. 

 I decided to bring over the idea I had while filming 'The Hook Man' to let the camera movements represent the characters, so again when Jack enters the student accommodation I wanted the camera to follow him as he walks through the building to really build tension. I want the camera to be really still, to represent how calm the character of Jack is during this moment.
 Ive carried this technique over into when Danny arrives back at the accommodation. To contrast Jacks, I thought it would be nice to follow Danny the same way as he enters the building, But this will be to show how intoxicated Danny is. This will be shown by following Danny with some erratic movement on the shoulder rig.
This final sequence was quite simple to visualise. I think the main concerns here are about how good we can get that blood to look on the wall and also the position of this piece in the full timeline. Because this takes place the next morning and 'The Babysitter' is still on the evening so when we put all of the pieces into one, we may have to add the scene to the very end, maybe as a post-credits.
