Shot List

In order to film our opening effectively and easily, a shot list was created to show all the camera shots that would be used (e.g. long shot, close-up)  and what they would be filming (e.g.  Agent O'Connor pacing the corridors, Alex picking up the jewel).
Writing a shot list would mean that Amirah and I would have a better, clearer and more effective sense of how to film and later edit the opening than if we filmed with just a script and timeline:

1)       Long shot – Agent O’Connor pacing up and down the corridor. The shot will start at the feet and then work its way up to the face.

2)       Extreme close up – A shot of the villains eyes, showing that he is watching the Agent

3)       Medium Close Up – O’Connor looking up at the clock, checking the time

4)       Long shot – The villain slowly walking towards where the spy is pacing. They are slightly crouched down. We only see their lower body.

5)       Medium close up – Introducing the villain, Alex.

6)       Medium Close up – Alex’s hand throwing a tennis ball across the floor where the spy is standing.

7)       Close up – shows O’Connor looking around, trying to find clues for as to where the object came from.

8)       Wide Shot – Agent O’Connor walks away from the door; he goes after the tennis ball.

9)       Mid-shot – Agent O’Connor turns a corner.

10)    Medium close up – showing O’Connor’s hand picking up the tennis ball, and him inspecting it.

11)    Mid-shot – Alex gets up and quickly heads towards the door

12)    Cut in – shows Alex’s hands opening the door, before he goes in.

13)    Close up – the villain looks around quickly once more before heading into the room

14)    Mid-shot – Alex moves towards the object, a pleased look on their face. They put their weapon down (a bat) and reach for their bag.

15)    POV Shot – Alex’s hands taking the jewel from where it is kept.

16)    Long shot – shows Alex zipping up their bag. He hears a noise from outside and turns around to see what it was.

17)    Mid-shot – O’Connor is getting up off of the floor, with the tennis ball in hand

18)    Mid-shot – Shows the Agent walking back towards the door, slightly confused.

19)    Medium close up – O’Connor realises that the door has been left open; he has a shocked expression on his face.

20)    Mid-shot – The Agents moves inside to try and investigate.

21)    Long shot – O’Connor has walked into the room, he realises that the jewel is missing.

22)    Close up – they have a shocked expression on their face.

23)    Medium close up – O’Connor has their back to the villain.

24)    Medium close up – Once the Agent has realised that there was something moving behind them, they turn around to see what it was.

25)    Long shot – Alex running away through the door, you can just about make out that it’s a person.

26)    Mid-shot – O’Connor goes out after the villain

27)    Mid-shot (Placed low down on the floor) – Of the Agent’s feet as they run after Alex
