STORYBOARD 7,8

The shots above are the next two shots, showing more action and finally the physical altercation that is the soul reason for this film and it's title; KOMA. Shot number 7 shows Drew and the drunk man from further away, more of a wide length, far away shot, showing more of the surrounding rather than the characters. The setting of this scene is supposed to take place in a dark alley, so the surrounding should be dark and gloomy, giving off a sense of danger. The audience should know that something is about to happen simply because of the setting/location. The wide shot is almost like a step back away from danger before the action happens, a normal human instinct to get away. This shot also makes more of a note of the height and body language difference between the two characters; a tall rugged drunk guy and a tense young teenage boy who in lack of better words is terrified.

At the point of the 8th shot, the majority of the dialog has been spoken, signaling that a fight is about to take place. The drunkard reached out towards Drew, pushing him against an fence with force, overpowering him easily even when Drew makes it clear he isn't looking for troubled. The angle of the camera is intended to be tilted to not only furthermore imply the drunken state the thug attacking Drew is in, but also to suggest the complicated and twisted situation Drew has found himself in. The tilting of the camera at such an angle that the the drunken thug finds himself center of attention helps in suggesting that the alcohol the man has obviously consumed has such an empowering effect on him that he has such anger and violence towards someone who is plainly much weaker than himself. The daze of the alcohol has taken all aspect of sense away.
