Shot List

Before filming we spoke about what shots we wanted to use within our title sequence and reasons why we wanted to use those specific shots. In this PowerPoint is the list of shots with reasons why we used them

and pictures from our title sequence in which I screen shot.

Shot 1 – Establishing shotWe decided to start off our title sequence by using a establishing shot. This is because establishing shots “establish” and show the audience members the

area and environment in which the scene is set in and from this, the audience can tell what time of day the scene is, the era and what type of characters could be within the film just from this shot at the beginning. Our establishing shot is

shown below. The time is in the afternoon and its modern day portrayed by the visuals in the scene.

Shot 2 – Mid ShotWe used a mid shot of the main character which is the wife Michelle. The reason we used a

mid shot is because it’s the first character which is shown in the title sequence and it’s a way of introducing her character to the audience members. Mid shots allow the audience to see what kind of character she is without revealing too much, mid shots can show the audience what she's wearing and give a first impression of what kind of character she is. Below is the

mid shot from our title sequence and from these jump cut shots we can see that she's a young women dressed casually not going out anywhere special, maybe her way home from

somewhere.

Shot 3 - Close up shotClose up shots are used to by film makers to show the audience something they

want noticed so the audience members can find out a little more about a character or scenario. In this case, we used a close up shot to show the audience her phone which showed two people as her background and the time of day in

which she was in. Below is the close up shot which we used during cinematography.

Shot 4 – Extreme close up shotExtreme close up shots is usually when film makers really want to point

something out to the audience members and usually cover up most of the screen. We used the extreme close up of her phone just after the close up shot

because we wanted to point out to the audience that she had a partner who would later be presented. Below is the shot from our title sequence.

Shot 5 – Long shot / Establishing shot

Next, is a long shot or establishing shot. The reason we decided to use this is because these type of shots show the surroundings in which a character is in. In this case, we used this shot to

show the character Michelle walking along a empty road and two guys in dark clothing standing by a wall being suspicious, at this point the audience members may not think anything

bad may happen, this is why we then use a jump cut and zoom in a little where the gang members are more noticeable to the audience we can see how the wife walking past a ally way

in which she would have to walk past the two men. Below is the long shots used.

Shot 6 – Long shotWe then decided to use another long shot to show the audience that she is

walking through the ally way. The use of the long shot shows her in between the two men in which turn to look at her as she goes past. This is a good shot

because it leads to the next shot to do with the two gang members.

Shot 7 and 8 – Close up shotTo cause tension to the audience, there is two close up shots used for the gang

members in order to see their facial expressions. We did this through shot reverse shot to show the communication of the two characters and shows how

they both nod which portray to the audience something is going to happen because of the non verbal communication. Below is the two close up shots.

Shot 9 – Long shotFor effect, we wanted to use CCTV footage and to make the scenario look more

realistic so we had it shown to the audience that it was only the three characters in that area and no one was there to help. The reason we wanted to use a long shot was because it shows the surroundings of the screen was empty

space. Below is the long shot.

Shot 10 – Mid shotThere is then a mid shot of the wife as she has fallen to the ground to show

something substandard has happened to her. In the shot, she takes up most the screen so the focus is on her. Her arm is out and her eyes are closed which can

give a assumption to the audience that she has died.

Shot 11 – Low mid shotWe then have a low mid shot of the two men's feet as they stand in a halt and

then begin to run, this shows that they have stopped to see what they have done and start to run. Low mid shots are usually used to pick up characters emotions

and feelings as they sometimes move their bodies in different ways, their legs are bent far down which shows they are about to run fast, the camera then tilts up to

show them running into the distance.

Shot 12 – Close up shotAfter they run into the distance, there is then a close up of her feet next to the

injection to portray to the audience that she hasn’t moved and how it’s something inside a injection which has done this to her.

Shot 13 – Extreme close up shotWithin the next scene, is a extreme close up shot of the male characters face, the shot consists of mainly his eyes which show that he has been crying. The

audience should be able to tell this by the fact it’s the same man in the picture as shown before in Michelle's phone. The shot shows and informs the audience

he is crying because of the loss of his wife. There is then jump cuts of more close ups to show how devastated he is. Below is this shot.

Shot 14 – P.O.V shot A P.O.V shot is used a lot of the time within the last scene to show the audience

what the character is going through and how they are seeing things through their perspective. There is a P.O.V shot which is used which shows the shaking of his hands and drinking of alcohol which establishes to the audience his depression

of losing his wife. Also from his P.O.V there is a lot of toys which shows there is a child in his life

Shot 15 – Mid/Long shotThere is then a series of mid/long shots where he is shown sitting on the sofa drinking and taking his upset and anger out of him. We wanted to use different shots of him to show the

audience he is completely upset and that is the only emotion he is feeling inside of him. Below is the series of mid and long shots which go between the jump cuts to show over time he is

still grieving.

Shot 16 – Close up shotThe letter is then shown on the side and can see him reaching out for it. This shot makes the main focus on the letter and that something

important is on that letter

Shot 17 – Extreme close up shotA extreme close up is then used of the letter so we can see what it says. The

letter addressed to him from the hospital stating that he has HIV which shows he has this problem on his mind as well and is obviously going through a really hard time in his life by having a life changing disease and loosing his wife (and loosing

his child in which the audience doesn't know about yet).

Shot 18 – Mid ShotWe then decided to use more mid shots where he rips the letter we just saw to show the audience that he is angry and depressed. There is then a jump cut of him drinking again to show as the time is going by he is still drinking.

Shot 19 – P.O.V shotThroughout the ending of the title sequence, we have used a lot of P.O.V shots to

show the audience what its been like to be the grieving husband, also, we had the effect of the P.O.V shot to be blurred out to show that after the crying and

drinking he hasn’t got the best train of thought and best eye vision at the moment.

BLACK OUT

Shot 20 – P.O.V shotAfter the blackout, is another blurred P.O.V of the fight and blood

showing. This is used to show the tension between the two characters and to have the audience on edge

BLACK OUT

Shot 21 – Extreme close up shotAfter the blackout, which was used to portray his emotions, is a extreme close up shot of his face which shows the state he is in

after the fight and the pain he is in.

Shot 22 – Mid shotNext in the title sequence, is the use of a mid shot to continue to show the

audience the pain and agony he is in due to the fight, the shot slowly begins to zoom out as the title of our film appears. He then leans over and holds

something which leads us to the last shot of our title sequence on the next slide.

Shot 23 – Extreme Close up shotThe last shot in the title sequence is a extreme close up shot of a

children's toy which he is holding, on the title sequence there is a voice saying “I love you daddy” this was used to show the child’s voice that he lost due to his wife dying and him imagining the voice just as he is

slowly closing his eyes leaving a enigma code on the audience
