Final Storyboard

 The main changes we ended up making to our storyboard were the setting and the places we planned to film. The final version turned out a bit different from what we originally picked. We chose a similar location to our first idea, but the one we wanted at first was too crowded and noisy, so it wouldn’t have worked the way we imagined. When it came to the script, we originally thought about doing a silent film. Once we started filming, it felt a little too awkward with no dialogue at all, so we added a few lines just to give the story the right mood and tone. Other than those adjustments, everything else stayed the same, the meaning behind the project didn’t change, and we kept the quiet, simple ending we wanted.

For our final storyboard, the film opens with Tatianna walking into the bathroom while talking on the phone. As soon as she sees Relysia, her whole mood shifts and she becomes furious. She starts bullying her and pushes her into a stall. During this moment, we used an over‑the‑shoulder shot that transitions into a shot of Tatianna walking away. It then cuts to a medium close‑up of Azmina (me) walking through the hallway with an upset, burdened expression. I get bumped into by Isabel, who yells at me, drops my books, and walks off. I fall to the ground, and the shot shifts from a high‑angle to a medium shot. After that, we see a split screen of both girls getting up and walking toward mirrors in different locations. Azmina walks into the bathroom, shown in another medium shot. Then a two‑shot shows both girls looking at each other, and the film ends with a close‑up of them holding hands. This ties into the idea of the butterfly effect, and how one action can lead to another in a cycle of life. Filming went as smoothly as possible since we were working at school. Our chosen settings, the hallway and the bathroom, played an important role in shaping the story. We used a variety of angles such as over‑the‑shoulder shots, two‑shots, low‑angle shots, and medium close‑ups to show the story from the victims’ perspectives and help the audience understand their emotions through mood and tone. For background music, we used Adobe’s free copyright tracks along with iMovie music to create a feeling of hurt and tension.
