Storyboard: Shot By Shot

Shot 1: The film opens with an establishing shot of the town in which it is set. This is presented as being a relatively ordinary town where it would appear not much happens. The grey sky gives a bleak impression of life in this town. The shot then pans down onto a specific part of the town where the action is supposedlly taking place. - Establishing Shot
Shot 2: Shows one of the main characters getting ready in a mirror. The fact that he is standing in front of the mirror connotes that he cares about his appearance and is perhaps vain. The shot is angled low in order to show that the character is dominant and does not shy away from social situations. - Mid Shot
Shot 3: We see a close up of car keys on a hall table as they are picked up by another of the main characters. The shot is short and the quick cut implies that he is in a hurry. - Close Up
Shot 4: Continues on from shot 3 as we see the character leaving the house and waking to his car. -Long Shot
Shot 5: The character waits a while before making a phone call, he is shown to be impatient. The camera is positioned on the dashboard so we can see the whole of the car's interior. - Mid Shot
Shot 6: Another character is shown still in bed and clearly late for an important event. As he answers his phone he is alerted to this fact and panics. This shows that he is lazy and unorganised. - Mid Shot
Shot 7: The same character is seen getting ready in a hurry. - Long Mid Shot
Shot 8: He is seen running down the stairs in a hurry. The camera pans and we see him exit the house. - Long Mid Shot
Shot 9: He is seen running towards the other character's car. - Long Shot/POV
Shot 10: He enters the car and there is a short exchange between him and the other character highlighting the fact that he is late. He is then handed a blazer and complains as he starts to put it on. This shows that he is uncaring about his appearance and has no desire to look smart. - Mid Shot
Shot 11: We see the main character getting ready in the mirror. - Mid Shot
Shot 12:  Close up of him looking directly into the mirror. This creates a personal affect as we are introduced to the main charcter. He is shown by his actions and dialogue to be nervous about his wedding. - Close Up
Shot 13: He begins singing in the mirror. This reflects the comedy aspect of our film. - Close Up
Shot 14: The first character walks in on him and looks at him in amusement. - Mid Shot
Shot 15: The other 2 characters walk in late and do the same. - Mid Shot
Shot 16: The main character acts confused as to why they are amused. - Mid Shot
Shot 17: The camera pans down to show he is naked from the waist down except for boxers. - Mid Shot
Shot 18: Fades to black.
