Other notes:

. We will be having to spend money, not a lot but definitely some.

. We will have to organise meeting places and organise filming days

. A laugh is good but not too much mucking around…. I don’t really want to fail media.

. USE THE FACEBOOK GROUP CHAT!!! If you have any queries or questions or ideas when we are not at school. We need to start taking this seriously now.

shot list in filming project

Shots-

Arc shot: 360 view to show a characters body language and can also be used for a establishing shot (location of the scene ideal 1 and 3).

Close up: Used to show facial expressions e.g. scene 3-interrogation scene showing the criminal being nervous (shifty eyes) and the seriousness in the officers eyes or can be used to show the focus of characters e.g. scene 1 criminal notices an object he wants to steal.

Long shot: Used to show the action from afar e.g. scenes 1 and 2 when the criminal is finding a way to break in or used to show the speed in the chase.

Medium shot: Used to show communication in scenes 1 the break in and scene 3 interrogation.

Deep focus shot: Used in scene 1 for the cop noticing the crime in progress and can also be used if the cop comes to a part of the forest in scene 2 where he needs to locate the criminal.

Dolly zoom: Scene 1 used when the criminal is looking around the room for a specific item of value.

Low angle shot: At the start of scene 1 it can be used for the criminal out side the house he is about to rob and is used to show his over powering stance.

Lock down shot: Is used as the camera position in scenes 1 and 2 to show the outside of the house while the criminal is finding a way in or is used as a way to show the lock of the camera in the forest (if we get a good route in one of the forests).

Over-shoulder shot: Can be used through out all scene e.g. the start with the cop approaching the crime scene in scene 1 or the tracking position of the camera in scene 2 and the conversation in scene 3.

POV shot: It is used in Scene 2 while the chase scene happens it shows the prospective of the obstacles both criminal and cop it also shows the cops focus on the parkour and routes the criminal takes in order to gain speed to catch up or end the chase whereas the criminal focus is on the routes he needs to take in order to get away or get the cop into a tight spot where he can give him the slip (loose his trail).

Tracking shot: Scene 2-used to keep track of chase for the side and tracking as they go past or used to show the follow of the chase.

Two-shot:Scene 3- criminal and cop are both in the frame (could be used in one of the last shot when the criminal says the line that ends the scene).

Whip pan: Scene 2 once in forest and  the cop has lost the trail but is determined to catch the criminal he then comes out of the tree line or shows him coming from high level then turns his head toward the criminals direction and whip pans over to criminal who has just turned or is catching his breath to look back and noticed the cop from  low level and the cop has seen him and is back on his trail.
