Storyboard
Sheet one:
The first sheet describes the first and second scenes, with dialogue included. It first displays an over-the-shoulder shot, with the dialogue between the worker and the boss, "It's just not work." This is followed by the boss handing the worker the termination paper, firing the worker. The end of scene one shows the worker standing by himself in the room, with his head down. This is when the title card, "E&J Studio Presents," will be shown in the space to the right of the character. The camera will then cut to scene 2, an empty stairway. This stairway is outside, as displayed by the sun. The actor will then be shown on the staircase, in a high angle. The following dialogue is, "Rent...it's due in three days." The actor is then shown on the staircase covering his face. This will be a medium shot, with the title card, "A MiBo Production" on the stairs.
The second sheet will present the third and fourth scenes, with their respective camera movements and angles. Scene 3 starts with an establishing shot, showing the office building. The title card will be displayed on the building, saying "Jacob Pineiro." This cuts to a shot of the worker next to his car. It will be a high angle, and his dialogue will be "Why was I the one?" The termination slip will be on the car hood. Scene 4 will be in the car, so the camera will be in the backseat. The dialogue between the worker and his mother takes place: "Please mom, just a little more, to get me through the month!" The mother then replies with "Enough is enough, you need to learn money doesn't grow on trees. I'm not a bank." The camera tilts to the in-car screen. After it displays the call, the strange non-diegetic noise will play for the first time.
Sheet three shows scenes 5 and 6. Scene 5 will take place at the worker's house. He looks at it for the last time, and then the camera cuts to a long shot of a runner. This is when the music starts playing. The "Music by Insaneintherainmusic" title card appears. It will be above the garage, on the house. The long shot will display a runner down the street. He says, "How are you doing?" The camera then cuts to the worker in a medium shot, and shows the worker simply smiling, with no reply. He then hears the strange noise again, this time reacting to it more severely. Scene six portrays the worker at his doorstep, and he is ready to open the door. It is now that the strange noise becomes bothersome to the worker, and he exclaims, "WHAT IS THAT??". On the ceiling above, the "Edited by Jacob Pineiro" title card appears.
Sheet four:
This sheet contains scenes 7 and 8. These are when the climax of the opening sequence starts to approach. Scene 7 shows the worker in his house, with a mess of bills scattered across the table. The "Produced by Jacob Pineiro" title card will be on the table, aligned with its edge. He is on the phone with a debt collector, who holds a conversation with him that is displayed via a shot/reverse shot. The dialogue between them is: Worker- "I'll have this done, I swear!" The collector then replies with- "I'm sorry, I've done all I can." Just after this line, the lights go out and the worker is in complete darkness, with the phone call over. In scene 8, the worker looks at the camera with a flashlight in hand, and the camera is at the end of a dark hallway. The flashlight then illuminates a fuse box, and the "Story by Jacob Pineiro" title card is just above the fuse box. The camera cuts to an extreme close up of the workers face, with the sound playing in the background.
Sheet five:
The worker stands in the room displaying his front door, the first room in the house. The camera cuts to right next to his foot, showing the door from a low angle. This scene has non-diegetic sound, of an unbodied voice speaking in a menacing tone, "I am here..." During this shot, the "Written by Jacob Pineiro" title card appears next to the worker's foot. This shot is then followed by the full-screen title of the movie, "From Bad to Worse." The last scene has the actor reaching for the door, with the "Directed by Jacob Pineiro" title on his hand. He says, "Right now, I'd make a deal with...." He never finishes his sentence, and light pours through the door until it fills the screen. This white screen then dissolves to black, and the opening sequence has ended.
