Storyboards

Before the production of the actual film, we need to make storyboards, rough sketches of scenes of the film we wish to create. The scenes in yellow are key scenes, areas which need most attention as they play a vital role in the film.


The first few scenes are namely establishing shots, showing the main characters and the reason why they are there.


The second part of the storyboard shows that the men are being held captive by a mercenary, whom is now forcing them to play Russian Roulette.



After several blank shots, one of the captives is starting to lose his nerve. In an attempt to calm him, his fellow assures him that the next round is a blank. However, the next round is in fact a bullet, and the ma n is shot dead, leaving the survivor with guilt. As a twist ending, the mercenary then reveals that he intended to kill the survivor anyway.



The survivor tries to combat the mercenary, managing to steal his gun and land a blow. But the merc manages to recover, forcing the survivor to run. Using a second pistol, the mercenary gives chase, but loses him. Finding a door open, he walks into a dark room. A gun appears from the shadows, and as the mercenary turns to fire the screen turns to black. A shot is then heard, leaving the death unanimous.
