Storyboard : Using videos

Story Board : 2nd Draft Idea
My first draft of a storyboard was drawing stick men and just outlining what key parts of the teaser trailer I wanted to include, I've decided that as an updated storyboard I'm going to make it using short clips of example footage.
This footage will allow me to get a sense of lighting, what kind of shots I want to use if it should be a long shot or a close up. But these shots will not all be in the actual locations I'm using for the trailer, this is mainly because I need an idea about camera composition and lighting, and some of my locations are a way out for me to use them as test footage.

Film Genre

Looking at different types of genres from the IMBD website, I picked these genres, thinking that they apply and fir to my teaser trailer the most;
Action : The Action side of the trailer will be the unknown men chasing Jake, these people create what could be a simple car journey or a brisk walk, into what Jake believes to be a 'life threatening' chase in which he HAS to escape
Adventure : The adventure side of the teaser trailer will mainly be due to the different scenes and settings where Jake will be chased, the constantly changing background will always create a new atmosphere and a sense of adventure to different locations
Mystery : The sense if mystery will be; firstly whats inside the package will be unknown and never revealed, secondly the man behind the phone will remain a mystery and all the audience will learn is what he looks like, lastly the mystery at the end will be the cut to black and gunshots when it cuts to black, leaving uncertainty on who has been shot
