Stiletto - Storyboards

A project where I curated a short narrative, intended to be a cold open for a slasher film, and set about visually conveying said narrative via storyboards and eventually a rough animatic made up of said storyboards.

Here, I wanted to play on the Final Girl trope in horror and really amp up the 'cheesiness' of slashers from the 70s through to the 90s. In working with a seemingly simple plot, I experimented with finding a balance of playing into tropes & conventions while also subverting them. This also allowed me to experiment with various types of shot focuses, angles and motions.
