New shot list

To accompany the script I had written, I also created a shot list - like the one that I had before, it would serve the purpose of filming each shot effectively and quickly, along with a chronology of where the shots would go in post-production/editing and a clear sense of how the shots would convey mystery and engage the audience:

1)      Long shot – The top corridor at the end of the day. We can see the occasional cleaner.

2)      Close up – hoovers and black sacks that are being cleared away by cleaners.

3)      Long shot – IT corridor. It is empty except for a few students preparing to head home, and we see the doors to two rooms on it.

4)      Close up – exam noticeboard on the top corridor, with seating plans and posters promoting maths events.

5)      Medium shot – Introduction to the hooded figure of Alexis, who is walking down the top corridor and turns left down some steps.

6)      Medium shot – Alexis walks down the steps and the subsequent corridor, stopping when she gets to the end.

7)      Extreme close up – She looks left and right.

8)      Mid shot – She walks to the IT room furthest away from her.

9)      Close up – Alexis’s hand on the handle as she tries to open the door, only to find out it’s locked.

10)   Close up – Alexis putting her hand in her pocket and taking out a hair grip to unlock the door.

11)   Close up – Lock is picked with the hair grip and the handle is turned.

12)   Mid-shot – Alexis enters the room and scans it for the memory stick, before seeing something silver on the teacher’s desk and walking towards it.

13)   POV/close up – of the silver memory stick, which is taken by Alexis.

14)   Close up – Alexis’s hand putting the memory stick in her coat pocket.

15)   Mid shot – Alexis walks out of the computer room.

16)   POV – She looks left and right of the corridor, checking that there isn’t anyone nearby.

17)   Long shot – Alexis walks out of the door and walks back the way she came, before turning a corner.
