The story board starts with a green screen like any other trailer i have watched, this informs the audience of the certificate given to the film which determines the age of the audience. Then the film cuts straight to the animated logo i have made, i may darken the tone of the logo so it fits better with the film genre. From researching other trailers i have found that the green screen and logo usually stay on the screen for approximately 4 seconds each. The first shot shown is a coin flipping through the air, then the camera zooms to show the audience what the coin has landed on. At this point in the film they aren't aware of the significance of the coin. The first inter-title shows the directors name, this zooms to enlarge the text and lasts for about 2 seconds.
The first shot shown of an actor is a girl, she looks like your average innocent looking girl. We see her scurrying onto her laptop and flicking through folders. Within seconds she has grabbed her bags and left through the door in a hurry. The close up of a mans feet are quite daunting, men are seen as strong and powerful over females and because we aren't sure of the actors identity is makes it even more scary about who this man could be.
The mans identity is still kept from the audience but a shot shows his hands searching for clues about where the girl could be heading and what she could be doing. The first hint is given by the inter-title 'what if' this still leaves the audience clueless about the storyline but creates tension as they can see the man his powerful by big hands and feet. The second inter-title is referring to the girl, she is hunting down people who have been chosen by the coin. The inter-titles zoom forwards and get bigger, then fade into the next shot. The girl can then be seen from behind, walking down a small, unlit alley way. She looks alone and vulnerable.
After a noise can be heard behind her she turns around and gasps, the camera then cuts straight into a wall where we see the mans foot just escaping out of the shot. Two consequtive inter-titles give a strong clue about the storyline. After the inter-title fades to the next shot we see the mans face however his identity is still hidden by a pair of binoculars. The shot straight cuts into a image through the binoculars, this creates the effect that she is being watched.
The fade between the two shots connotes the change of location, the girl is now looking over the edge of a multi storey car park, the camera zooms in on her and suddenly the runs. There is a close up of her face but the shot is unsteady as the girl is still running. In the darkness suddenly car headlights turn on and the screen fades to a black image where an engine noise can be heard.
Another inter-title gives another clue about the storyline but doesn't hint too much. The camera then tracks along a street showing the girl from the side running, followed by the mans feet which we recognise from the earlier shot. The editing pace speeds up as the action increases.
The intertitle breaks up a different change of location where the girl is still being chased. The screen fades to a black shot again while an extra sound effect can be heard, when the next shot is shown the girl is tied up in the corner.
As the trailer comes to an end the generic 'coming soon' is shown. Then the coin being flipped which will become an iconic logo of the film, while the coin flips into the 'o' of the film title. The shot then fades into the credits which includes actors names, producers, directors etc. The shot then fades to black and the music volume decreases into silence.
