PLANNING: SHOT LIST

I made a shot list below:

Scene	Vision	Sound	Actor/Actors	Props	Notes
Entry of the first character walking through a tunnel before being ambushed.	1) EXT – EVENING: various CLOSE-UP shots with SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD. A man walks past the frame for each. Some are at a DUTCH ANGLE. Last shot of the scene is a WIDE ANGLE, with a SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD, see the man walk off into the tunnel, then get ambushed, there is a struggle then the sound of a gunshot.	à GUNSHOT	ADULT (SCIENTIST)	N/A	3 or 4 walking shots before the finale. OPENING CREDITS can be DISPLAYED at this moment, maybe SLANTED or in different POSITIONS. Actors FACE should NOT be shown to camera, must be hidden so all shots are from waist down. They should not be too out of focus.
Scientist working out the equations.	2) INT – NIGHT: CLOSE UP of candle being lit. CUT to various shots of newspapers, lit by candlelight. CUT to a WIDE ANGLE, behind the scientist sitting at a DESK. Jumps up in joy and leaves the frame.	à N/A	ADULT (SCIENTIST)	è PAPER è PEN è CANDLES è NEWSPAPERS è DESK è CHAIR è MAYBE BIN è OTHER WORKINGS	Due to low light filming, may need to use FAKE CANDELS, due to their increased lighting. The actor will TURN around to the CAMERA after doing some WORK.
Discussion between the scientist and a friend.	3) INT – DAY: WIDE ANGLE, in a POSH SETTING, two characters (scientist and wealthy friend) talking to each other. SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD means they are out of focus. Wealthy friend usher scientist out, towards camera. Wealthy friend stops, leans down to pick up a piece of paper. PAN UPWARDS – TRACKING. CUT to EXTREME CLOSE UP of wealthy friend’s pocket, placing paper into.	à DISCUSSION BETWEEN TWO CHARACTERS	TWO ADULTS (SCIENTIST & WEALTHY FRIEND)	è SHEET OF EQUATIONS	WHITE NOISE may need to be REDUCED in editing due to LOCATION. Make sure ACTORS faces are NOT SEEN. They should only be in frame when the camera is out of FOCUS.
Overhead of the equations with a red light spilling from the side.	4) INT – NIGHT: background is black, equation in centre of frame. BIRD’S EYE view and a slow zoom towards the paper. RED LIGHT coming from left of frame. CUT between SCENE 4 and END of SCENE 3.	N/A	N/A	è THE SHEET OF EQUATIONS è RED LIGHT (not seen) è BLACK CLOTH BACKGROUND è MAYBE FAKE MONEY	RED LIGHT will only come from ONE SIDE, but if it’s not light enough then two lights from opposite sides can be used.
