Shot List

We decided to change our shot list as there was problems with our planning of filming. As we filmed later then we should have, we had to shorten the sequence to fit it into the time we had to film. At first we were dissappointed that we had to shorten the sequence, however, thinking about it more and more, we realised this would be a benefit for our sequence. It would be more conventional to use this shortened sequence.

New shot list:
  • Male character asleep on the floor with a blanket over him. Different shot types, side angles, eye level and aerial views. This is to show where the male is and the different angles of him.
  • The male character is being waken by an alarm/phone call on his phone which is by his side, along with some needles and syringes. The eye level shot is used to show the male moving and doing what he does every morning.
  • The male character lays back down and snoozes for a few minutes (still at eye level)
  • The camera then moves to infront of the character and shows him putting on his t-shirt.
  • Then the camera moves to the back of the character and watches him from behind as it is suggested that he injects himself with something, trying to make the spectator assume it is heroin.
  • At the same angle, the character falls onto his bed slowly and we watch him as his face relaxes.
  • We then see the male arise again and get ready to leave his home. We watch him dress and put his shoes on. The camera is watching him from the side.
  • Then the camera is watching the male walk through his front door and down the path with him turning and the camera following.

This is then the end of the sequence which runs on for about 2 minutes and is dragged out to see the male wake and rise like a normal day which everybody goes through. The male was origionally going to be a lower class male, but we had problems with finding somewhere to film to portay this, so we thought about it and realised that social realism can be of any class representation. We decided to represent the working/middle class.
