Storyboard Study - Building Suspense in "The Gift"
I did this exercise a few years ago while watching Sam Raimi's "The Gift". There's a scene in there that has a really nice dramatic and suspenseful build to it, so I decided to break it down into shots to figure out what made it work. This is a really great exercise for anyone who is interested in storyboarding or what makes a good scene work. I learned quite a bit from it.
