Shot list

The first part of our filming will consist of a variety of shots and different camera angles and this shot list will describe some of the more interesting ones, as well as normal shots we used last year.

The beginning will feature over the shoulder shots in order to disguise the characters identity, and when he enters the toilets and finds his mask we will be using the reflection in mirrors to catch his new look. He will gradually rise to finally reveal his face and instead of flesh there will be a disguise in the form of a mask. The journey to the exam room will also be interesting as Kiel had the idea of having the masked character walking amidst a crowd, and having the crowd dissolving gradually in and out to show the characters lonliness and difference to others. We need to change the opening door shot from a long/mid-shot to a close-up to establish difference between shots and I think close-ups would look effective for the exam too. We will use a skateboard to pan the camera around the whole group of examiners to get a smooth effect. A straight on full body shot should be used when the main character tips over the table, and I think it would look a lot better in slow motion too with pens flying about. A POV shot will be used but from the masks perspective as it sits on the desk and the other people approach them, wary at first but eventually grasping it. Then we will utilise natural light to create iconic images of the group running down the corridors into the light and escaping their boring lives. On top of these more memorable shots we will use normal panning and match on match action for various angles.
