Initial Brainstorming/Story Board

    In our discussion of where we want to take the project, I was given the third 30-second, or 1:00 to 1:30 mark. During our brainstorming, we all sat down and tried to decide where the story should go. Angela was making incredible progress in the first 30 seconds and me and Johansen were brainstorming how we wanted to approach the next minute. We decided we wanted "glitches" to represent the troubled minds of the patient in the therapy office as they recount their day. There was a back and forth on whether there should be two or three glitches but in the end, we settled on two, though this might change as filming starts to suit our needs. 

Frame 1: As the patient is describing her day after the first glitch of the dog food in her house, there is a shot of the therapist listening and writing notes while they are in the therapist's office. He seems concerned and it is seen with a long mid-shot of the character off to the side. He continues writing and diegetic sound is used to heighten the sound of the pen writing. 
Frame 2: The patient is still describing their day through narration, this is likely to include some meaningless tasks like getting breakfast. A full shot will be used as the patient is going through their fridge for food. The camera will capture the side profile of the character rather than head-on or behind. 
Frame 3: The narrated story cuts away to the patient as the therapist asks how her recent discharge from the hospital has affected her and if she has been taking the medication she had been prescribed. This is going to be showing the reaction of the patient as the therapist is asking.
Frame 4: The final frame will describe the pills that the patient is taking with the narration. There will be a long take on the pill bottle supposedly full with the camera slowly zooming in on it. The screen will "glitch" which will be done in editing to a pill bottle that is completely empty in its place.
