Storyboard:
Our storyboard was designed very early before we decided to film and, as a result, quite a lot was changed when we came to actually producing our film. For example, a huge duo of change was that we didn't use a car and we weren't able to film at a warehouse. As a result, we had to adjust both location and method of transportation as well as how our case was going to be stored. This also meant that we had to show Luke getting equipped to ride his bike too.
Our initial idea had the credits come across the stairs as our protagonist began to exit the warehouse which would have shown a creative spark but unfortunately we weren't able to do this as our actual location had a restricted area with small steps that it just wasn't plausible to edit credits of any kind on to. We also were unable to get steady tracking shots of the steps.
As you can see, our original plan had us using a car but we realised this wasn't plausible as Luke (actor) couldn't drive and no adults were willing to wait whilst we filmed at Nuffield just for us to get a 10 second or so clip of them driving off. Due to this, we simply swapped to Luke's motorbike which we actually preferred in the end as the bike seemed more fitting to that of a criminal.
Our plan here didn't actually change too drastically besides us adding a brief shot of the paper's contents being revealed to be the other character's number which we felt continued our film's air of mystery. This acted as a hook for the viewers to watch the rest of the film to find out what happens which is fairly conventional to that seen in thriller/action films.
