The story board is the a structuralist approach to a horror chase scene with a mystery shadowed figure chasing a women who even though you can't see it in the picture is blond who in this sub genre is often the victim. The use of the dark corridor with the dark door is used to bring tension and then i used the misdirection to shock the audience. I also used made her trip something used in almost every slasher film as a way of the slow walking killer to catch the killer in a way that shows the victim as powerless with no hope. In the last pane i showed the killers bloody dripping knife this image is very key in the slasher genre this last pane even by its self could show that this chase scene is part of a slasher film.

This chase scene is very structuralist of this sub-genre with most of the panes being used very often in other films like halloween and scream. This structuralist scene is very easy to create due to its tropes standout from other genres.
