Creative Media Homework - Create a story for the storyboard

A vengeful vampire seeks redemption from a priest who sparked a cull of vampires around England.

Using the storyboards write a prose style treatment which explains what is taking pace in the storyboards. Remember to include dialogue + sound which are relevant. Your writing should convey the tension in the scene.

Fast paced suspenseful music is accompanying the priest being chased by the villainous man. As he runs, sound effects such as puffing of the priest and his footsteps (fast paced as he’s running) are accompanying the shot(s). It is an over the shoulder shot, on a slight low angle to establish the roles of the two characters. The priest is clenching the railing behind him as if to catch himself from running. The character in the background has the power and the priest appears to be at his mercy.

A medium close up shot, on a low angle of the villainous character, the angle suggests his power. He is abiding by the rule of thirds as he is in the centre-left of the shot, this increases the interest of the shot. The first shot, similar to the second has surroundings / settings that suggest the scene is set in a church or cathedral.

The priest is clinging to the rails of the altar, he has his arms and legs wide apart and appears to be on high alert and ready to run. The priest in the point of focus, being in the foreground of the shot in the right of the shot again applying to the rule of thirds. There is light shining through the windows onto the pews as well as onto the pillars.

The vampire uses his super-human speed to throw the priest across the room, he smashes into a glass table and falls to the ground, moaning. Barely able to open his eyes the priest looks around, searching for the vampire. He stumbles onto his feet and sighs in relief, he believes the vampire has thought he died. He hears a deep laugh coming from behind him. Suddenly he is thrown onto the church alter. A shadow is cast over the priest, the vampire is looking down at the priest, impaled on a silver cross.
