Shot List - Main Task

Shot List -

A list given to the film production crew which indicates the sequence of scenes being shot for the day. This list may include the scene number, the location of where the scene is being shot, a description of the scene, the length of a scene (listed by number of pages from the script), a list of actors who will be involved in the scene, and, special notes to all departments of what will be needed or required for a particular scene being shot.

Shot Number	Shot Type	Storyboard Number	Shot Description
1	Tracking Shot	2,5,8	Tracking Shot of Peter from the desk, revealing parts of his bedroom gradually.
2	Medium Close-up	3	Hand on mouse and pot of pencils on the desk.
3	Close-up	4	Close-up of a mouse clicking on the music. Switch focus from the play button to the title 'Fall Out Boy Golden' - of music.
4	Extreme Close-up	6,7,9,111,13,14,16,17, 18	Close-ups of different objects in the room. Switch from out of focus to in, focus on the object.

Although shots are simple, if the tracking shot works out it will hopefully turn out well and look effective. As well as this difficulty, achieving the extreme close-up with Peter's eyes with the reflection in his glasses may be hard, since we need to have the gun which he is looking at on the computer -achieving the right angle for this may be difficult. We also wanted the extreme close-ups to go from out of focus to in focus in order to achieve a little ambiguity and therefore we wanted to reveal about his character gradually, but enough so that it meets the conventions of a film opening: creating enigma, establishing time, place and introducing character. We wanted to make sure that the meaning was clear as well as being creative with our choices of shots.

Similarly, we do not want to over complicate the number of shots/shot types since when t comes to production day we do not want it to be over-complicated but it still needs to be challenging enough. In this way if the tracking shot works out it should hopefully look more impressive. The influence of this tracking shot stems from Wes Anderson's signature of using tracking shots, with not cuts.
