Original Storyboards

Storyboards are simply the story laid out in comic book form, illustrating each shot and turning point of an action involved in the story. Below are images of the first draft of storyboards for the original story line.



The story starts as follows in the bombed ruined street. The little girl peeps out from behind a demolished wall and begins to slowly come out into the middle of the street. The camera has several tracking shots of the girl walking over rubble and heaps of debris. As she walks along, she has flashbacks of planes and bomb explosions during the Blitz. Then she comes to a stop outside of a demolished house which is revealed to belong to her family.



As the girl investigates the house, she spots something on the ground amongst the debris. It is revealed to be a teddy bear, the girl stares at it and then tearfully picks it up. She holds it close and then continues to walk off down the street into the distance towards St Pauls Cathedral.

I wanted to have St Pauls Cathedral involved in the film because I wanted to have something iconic to show throughout the course of the movie and to allow people to see where the movie is set.
