Storyboard Ideas

A few places within the script call for long periods of dialogue, back and fourth between two characters. Rather than filming these scenes with a one-two, back-and-fourth, style, I'd like to take inspiration from The Shining and use simple long takes to shoot these conversations. I believe my approach is justifiable as just as with The Shining the location is an important element of the story, so is the castle market in our own film. Due to the interesting and large spaces in which Kubrick's story is told, it was important that as much of the building was shown off as possible. This is much the same with our film, we chose the market and built a story around it due to its interesting architecture therefore not to show it off would be a big mistake.

One such shot I have in mind imitates one seen in The Shining;

The characters are across the room from the camera, walking and talking as they are shown around the hotel, the camera following the action by way of a sideways track. They then reach the back wall art which point they change the direction of they are waking and move towards the camera, finishing the conversation stood just a few meters from the camera. Aside from showing off the hotel, the shot gives the impression of being a POV, like much of the film, its cinematography suggests an entity that constantly watches the inhabitants. Since our 'ghost' is going to be somehow linked with or trapped in the market, i'd also like to incorporate shots that hint at being someone's or something's point of view. 

The pictures below depict where in the market I would hope to achieve a similar shot. It would be easy to use several track and dolly kits to create a very long track on which the camera can move along, following actors as they share long conversations.

 Here is how I envisage the shot working in a practical sense;
