Scream Opening Storyboard

The opening shot is a mid-shot of the phone. There is no sound at first, but then the phone rings.

A hand reaches out to pick up the phone. It is still ringing at this point, but stops when it comes off the reciever.

The camera follows the hand up until a woman appears. It is a mid-shot because you can see from her mid-drift upwards. She has a conversation with a man, who appears to have dialed the wrong number. We can hear the man's voice, as well as the woman's, so his voice is non-diegetic sound.

After the conversation has ended, the camera switches to a close up of her hand as she puts the phone down. We hear the phone go back on the receiver. 

As she walks away, it is a long shot. The phone rings again and she turns around, the camera pans across as she approaches the phone and picks it up again. She has another conversation with the same man as before. After the conversation has ended, she puts the phone down again. This stays as a long shot for the whole sequence, the camera just pans to follow her movement.

An establishing shot is used in the next sequence, as the camera pans around the area the girl lives in and the house.

The camera switches back to the house, and a close up of the cooker, as she turns it on in preparation to cook.
