StoryBoard I Outline — Whit Hits The Fan

Story Line

1

  • Close-up to White’s moustache, snoring
  • Zoom out to medium shot of him in hammock  sleeping, bottle in one hand like he “drank himself to sleep”,  show part of fan blade “seems like ground”
  • “tumbleweed” (dust bunny) blows through scene, into and out of frame

2

  • Viewer hears a click (fan turning on), slowly starts spinning
  • Zoom out quickly, viewer now knows his hammock is attached to the fan, zoom back into Whit sleeping
  • Whit opens one eye, looks around, adjusts, goes back to sleep

3

  • Fan turns slowly, eventually snaps the web hammock
  • Whit falls out of frame (viewer believes he has fallen)
  • As fan accelerates Whit comes back into frame holding onto the hammock (now more of a rope)
  • Goes by fast twice, slo-mo as he comes around again, goes back to fast

4

  • Zoom in, Whit screaming
  • Zoom out, quiet peaceful scene, fan turning
  • Zoom in, Whit screaming

5

  • Whit flies off because he can’t hold onto the rope any longer
  • Hits mirror behind the bar, slowly slides down
  • Hits/bounces off the credits as they scroll up
