Our Main Idea
The opening sequence -
Its a normal Monday morning at school and the classmates are waiting outside the classroom, all arguing and shouting at eachother and Casey gets bullied by Nicholas and his pals.
Lynn Hartly eventually arrives at the classroom clearly stressed about something and breaks up the fight between nicholas and Casey. Lynn then lets them into the classroom and the kids are still shouting and being loud as they get to their seats. As the teacher isn't in the best of moods to teach she decides to put on an educational video for the class to watch. After the lights have been turned off, the class watch the film, and theres is a murder going on while the lights are off. Once the lights are turned back on nicholas JT Abdul has been murdered and is lying on the desk in blood. Then we see police tape on the door to the classroom.
The middle section -
Two police investigators arrive on the scene taking statements from all the students and eventually lets them all go after been told they're all suspects including Lynn Hartly. Two friends Corey Long and Casey Lube who are the two who get bullied are walking home together chatting about whats happened and Nicholas. They then separate for corey to go home and Casey continues on home down the road. Casey then sees shadows lurking around him, he shouts but gets no reply. Now he can hear noises. Eventuall the murderer turns up behind him, Casey turns round and says immediatly "Its you!", and then is stabbed in the neck.
The next day the two officers Will and Charles are looking through the statements discussing possible culprits. And then are notified about Caseys murder and get on it. Meanwhile all the school kids are going back to school still in shock horror about previous days events. Amy Cozens breaks down in the toilets and sobs in one of the cubicals. She hears the toilet door open so she waits till they've gone, however its the murderer and they drop a knife through Amys head from the opposite cubical. Will and Charles go back to the school to ask more questions to the students about Caseys death, and while doing this they find out that student Nick is having an affair with young teacher Lynn Hartly.
After Amys body is found the teacher calls a meeting with all the students. In the meeting they're arguing and accusuing eachother of who murdered them, and in the end a fight almost breaks out between Luke Harris and one of Nicholas' mates Martin McFly. The teachers warns them to walk home in groups, and to keep in contact with her and everyone else. They all leave to go home.
Lynn is left in the classroom all by herself, then two people approach her from behind, she acknowledges this and tells them to go home and is then stabbed in the back, now we know ther is two killers. Then all the students who are walking hom recieve a text from Lynn to meet at a house on the outskirts of the woods. Later the p[oilce find Lynn dead in the classroom.
The final part -
The student follow the instructions except Corey who thinks that its not such a good idea and leave to find the poilice to warn them. Luke however carries on into the woods not noticing the danger and falls for a trap where he falls on a spike and dies.
Meanwhile Mick Lancaster and Shelly Took are making their way to the shed talking then Shelly trips over. Mick walks back to help and shelly viciously wacks him over the head hard with a long long, thinking she had knocked him out. Shelly is now one of the known killers and she walks off to the house, she thinks that Mick is dead but he is still alive. Corey finds the police investigators and tells them what going on, Will and Charles make their way to the wood knowing something is up.
Jennifer Harte, Martin Mcfly, Eden Cook, Dean Lebean, Shelly Took, Francis Jones all turn up at the shed, and start to argue again and start t blame eachother. Shelly is blamed for the murders and then Mick walks up behind her still bleading from what shelly did to him and wacks her round the head with the same log. So now they realise that she is the killer and Shelly gets up and shoots Martin dead. She holds them all at gun point. She starts to reveal secrets about other people in the class that shes found out; like Nicks affair with teacher Lynn and that Mick is actually a closet gay. All of a suddent Shelly is shot dead.
It closes with Shellys body been taken away and all the police around talking to the students who all seem relieved that they're safe. Apart from one, Dean Lebean, whos in the corner on his own searching through his phone at pictures of all the victims. Its clear that Dean was the other killer in cahoots with Shelly.
The final shot is of him observing the students in a cunning way.

Our Storyboard
This is the storyboard me and my group created and shot. It outlines the plot of our short opening sequence and of course the shots we opted to use and what we thought were appropriate.
First frame is a long shot of pupils walking through the corridors on a typical school/college day, and to give an idea of the setting that its in a school or college.
Second shot shows Joe saying "heyy" to Amy as he approaches her in the corridor, here we use a medium close up (MCU).
Third shot its Amy who is approaching Joe with an over the shoulder shot (over Joes shoulder) and also saying "hi" to him. On these shots we stay on the same side of joe and Amy as we follow the 180 degree rule so as to not confuse the audience of wher our actors are coming from in terms of where they're standing.
Fourth frame after Joe and Amy are saying hello to eachother and Joe asks Amy how has Amy been over the holidays. using a simple over the shoulder Close-up (CU).
Shot five we opted to use anotherCU of Amy over joes shoulder and telling him that she's been thinking of joe over the holidays.
Frame six is MCU off Joe clearly shocked of her saying she been thinking of him, and he quickly asks her how her boyfriend is.
Frame seven is another MCU of Amy basically saying that things between her and her boyfriend isn't so good and she seems to be rather upset about it too.

Eighth Frame, Joe attempts to comfort Amy by telling her that if she ever wanted to talk he is there and it leads on to the ninth frame where continuity played an important part as an establishing shot as her hands her his number on a bit of paper
Tenth Frame, Amy also quite fond of Joe thanks him after taking his number
And the Penultimate shot we see them saying goodbye to each other as they go their separate ways.
The final twelth shot we use a tracking shot following Joe down the hall as he approaches Amy's boyfriend and bullies Joe by tripping him up and he falls to the ground with amy oblivious to what just happened. Then it ends
