Directing
Take your shotlist from MODULE 1 Suburban Drama or Sci/Fi Horror and create a storyboard for it. Stick figures are fine! Remember, the point of the storyboard is to imagine the film visually in story order. As you do this, do you discover any shots are missing from your list? Are you imagining a shot in your mind that you realize you left out of your shot list?

He pushes the button to go up.
He enters the elevator
and presses the button - the 22nd floor lights up and the elevator begins to move...
Futuristic dystopian ruined abandoned office, diffused, blue palette to give off a futuristic cold feeling, wide shot of the corridor.
in a low angle shot,
the man is chased by humanoid monsters around the floor. Unclear and fast movements blurred the creatures.
The man reaches the elevators and manages to get in before the elevator door closes.
The floors began to go down seemingly going back down to the lobby but when it reaches the lobby,
the elevator doesn’t open and instead goes back up to the 22nd floor
where the elevator door opens. A bright old fashioned seemingly new office of the 1960s. Wide angle shot Yellow palette representing the past. The man sees the office filled with people from the past.
The man goes into one of the offices
which turns out to be a laboratory where radiation experiments are performed on cancer patients. Over the shoulder, the man stood in the dark as he watches the lab from another room through the windows.The man shocked and disgusted by what he saw exits the room. Alerted of his presence,
soldiers began scouting the floor searching for the man.
The man panicked and ran back into the elevator where the door closes, and he goes back down to the lobby. Back in the present, the man goes out of the elevator seemingly spooked by what he saw earlier,
the man decides to go back to the 22nd floor.
The elevator door opens to the present condition of the 22nd floor,
the man exits
and searches the room that was once a lab on the floor.
Close up of the file cabinet, Dark and empty with a more colored scene representing the present. The man enters a records room
where he uncovers a file sanctioned by the pentagon for the irradiation experiments. After acquiring the file, the man goes back to the elevator to return to the lobby. As the elevator goes down,
the man opens the document. Closing up on the document,
the man saw a file of himself with details stating that he is a deformed subject being experimented on. Suddenly, the elevator blacked out. The man screams but no one hears. In a low angle scene,
a bright light shines and as the man opens his eyes, the scene is colorful and bright showing the real time present moment and alludes to the previous scenes as dream sequences.
The man realized that he is tied to an operating table where his deformed body is being experimented on. The man overhears one of the doctors says that the drugs are wearing off and that they should administer another shot.
