Flashback Storyboard

The transitions for all the flashbacks will be fade in then fade out because fading is used to stereotypically portray flashbacks and memories in films.

• There will be a flashback of a close up of the victim's necklace which she will be wearing. The close up will show a bit of her neck and chest to indicate that it is a cross necklace, not just a random cross. This cross is ironic - she is a prostititute, unmarried and in the early stages of pregnancy.
• Extreme close ups of the words Struggling and Pain which the killer will highlight. This will emphasize his obsession with pain, gore and death. Also, it will serve as a 'checklist' and a piece of inspiration - he wants his victims to struggle and feel pain, he admires that.
• An establishing shot of the killer standing at the 'head' of the table, the audience cannot see his face or elements of clothing, he is a silhouette. However, the audience will be able to see the victim clearly, so the killer seems more mysterious and eerie.
• A close up of the victim's bruised and bloody face and a short bit of her necklace made visible. This highlights the killer's powerful and sadisitic nature. It will show the audience what he does to his victims - he beats them to weaken them (or make them unconscious) , then kills them & takes their foetus.
• An establishing shot of the foetus jars on the shelves in the killer's den, again emphasizing his fascination with women and foetuses.

• Another close up of the victim's face however her eyes are open. (When filming we decided on another flashback of him closing her eyes)
• Killer's POV as he operates on the victim, this involves the audience because it makes them feel sorry for the victim, and makes them feel helpless because they can not help her.
• An extreme close up of her gory hand hanging over the edge of the table as blood drips off it.
• A close up of the side of the victim's open stomach to stress the killer love for blood and to fit in with the slasher conventions of showing gruesome images to the audience.
• Killer's POV as he walks up to the bruised victim. This will indicate to the audience that he is about to operate which will build suspense and tension as they feel powerless because they have to sit and watch this happen.
• Killer's POV of him holding the foetus immediately after he has taken it out of her. This will show the audience what the foetus looks like and to portray how he has finally got what he sought after. Also, I've positioned his hands in a way similar to how a priest holds a Bible, as if blood and humans (parts) are what he worships and thrives off.
