Previsualization Materials for the Master Shot Sequence

My job was to create the overhead for our group's master shot sequence. I've never made an overhead before so I was a little confused at first, but with the help of the group (and the textbook), it became really simple to figure out. The storyboards helped me out a lot as they conveyed angles that I could group together into different camera setups. The most difficult part was showing movement of one of the character's. In our sequence, one character (the victim) doesn't move at all while the other (the serial killer) is constantly moving around. I was afraid the arrows I was drawing would be confusing to others, so I tried to make sure the arrows were as straight-forward as possible. And hopefully I succeeded with that?
This is actually an outdated version of the final overhead, but just to show the confusion of arrows I was working with...

These previsualization materials definitely helped me to get a better idea of what my group and I will be filming and how we will set up and prepare for the shoot. And now I can't wait to start!
