Production Blog-Storyboard Changes

I originally created a storyboard that consisted of 60 boxes along with 1-2 sentences describing what would happen in the scene. This is so that when I film I can refer back to this storyboard so I have a guideline as to what I need to film. I recently made changes to my original storyboard where I added 6 boxes to my storyboard, only one scene though. This new scene would require me to get another prop, like 2 to 4 candles. Preferably the ones that are lit by batteries instead of using a lighter for safety precautions. I also think that I may need two more actors to play the mother and father in the last scene. If I do find actors to play the mother and father I will also ask them to do the voiceovers for me as well. I'm pretty sure I will be able to find someone to play the role of the mother but it'll be a little  hard to find some to play the father role. But if I don't find anyone to play the role of the father I'll just play the role of the father myself and have to buy props like a fake beard to help me look more masculine. So far I've notice some beards at party city and on amazon so I'll most likely get it from there. I want the costumes for the mother and father to be either all black or all white. I am considering the white because I feel like it will help my actors stand out more in the dark lighting. But I'm also leaning towards black because I feel like it give more of scary look. I was also thinking of thinking of incorporating a black veil and large black hat in the costumes, to help hide the face of the mother and father. For my third storyboard I want to blur the faces of the parents slightly because I feel like it would add mystery to the film. There are two ways I can do this; one possible way would be to blur out the picture physically like probably apply a blur filter on their faces before printing the picture out or just blur it out while editing. Or to make it even more scary I could print out a picture of the parents and cut out the parents faces. But it would have to be a family portrait at that point so that Rena and Ashlynn's faces are visible in the picture to help the audience understand that those are the dead parents. I feel like both ideas are great but I would like to try the blur filter first before anything to see how that works out and if it's successful then I'll do it that way if not then I'll do the cut out method. Or I would just leave the picture in its original state after being printed. It wouldn't be as scary this way, but I feel believe titles don't necessarily have to include scary images or details because in the horror film "Get Out" the titles weren't scary at all honestly.
