LO2- Shot List


A shot list helps to keep the production organised and time limited. It is an important part of planning as it corresponds to production. Planning and organising shots helps to visualise the production, making it more efficient to us and the actors/band.
  

Shot lists are very important in both the planning and production stages of filming a music video. They are very helpful to look back on when filming so you know what you will need to do next, as well as being able to influence your storyboards. In the editing stage you will be able to look back on the shot list to create continuity for the film.
To give us ideas for our shot list we can look at other music videos and the angles/shot types they used to create their vision.

Shot list       MADDIE
- Wide shot of pub from other side of street, a couple of seconds pass and then Dave steps out.
- Goes to close up on Dave's face, looks slightly nervous- perspiring.
 -Cuts back to wide shot of pub and Dave stood in the same spot outside, as he stands there we see two men pass (the other members of the band) by walking and chatting coming on from the left side of the screen and going off on the right. Two seconds after they are off screen Dave begins to walk towards the left of the screen- on beats cut to performance and back.
 Between this scene there are future shots of the music video's narrtive cut in to foreshadow the narrative (Plus to further the mood and the protagonist thoughts)
Several seconds of performance from plug from front.
 Over the shoulder of Dave walking.
- There will be cuts to close ups of different places around Dave to foreshadow that he is Foster Kenzie committing these crimes or characteristics.
- Ghosting of the band's prefromance could be used in certain scenes and shots to make sure we have the same mood kept in the music video.
- Medium shot of an alley, camera at shoulder height- see two silhouettes in the alley, one mugging the other. Dave walks into view, looks over to the alley.
- Performance for a few seconds.


BEN
- Medium close up low angle on Dave's face from a handheld camera,h see his reaction and then he begins to move away from camera, handheld camera follows his at the back. 
- Cuts to long shot in front of him, he continues walking straight towards the camera until his shirt obscures its view.
- Starts black at a straight on medium long shot, realise darkness is Dave's shirt and as he walks away from the camera with his back to it the view of him entering a shop (probably Nisa local) can be seen.
- Few seconds of performance
-  Low angle, tracking, of his face as he enters the store and begins to walk around. 
- Cuts to medium close up of Dave's hand reaching for a can of food, turns to split screen and both hands reaching for different food cans on the shelf. 
- Wide shot of Foster Kenzie stood on the left looking at can and Dave stood in the background having noticed Kenzie, Dave puts the can back in the background. Foster Kenzie walks off screen. 
- Few seconds of performance
- Handheld camera close up of Kenzie walking out of store, camera tracks Kenzie putting the can in his pocket as he leaves.


LAUREN
- Dave leaving shop there is jump cuts from different angles of him walking that change to the music's beat. Starts with a medium shot from the end of the aisle as he leaves the store.
- Cuts to a handheld camera following him from a medium close up from behind as he walks out of the store to pursue Foster Kenzie.
- Few seconds of performance
- Close up on his face of him looking around for Kenzie, we see him seem to spot Kenzie and he walks off-screen (camera pans) towards an alleyway.
- Wide shot from opposite end of alley as Dave enters it, then Kenzie coming up behind Dave and knocking him to the ground.
- Few seconds of performance
- High angle medium shot from above Dave, lying on the ground and clearly concussed, opening his eyes and squinting above him.
- Low angle from Dave's perspective, Kenzie walks into camera out of focus, he throws his hood down and his face comes into focus in time for the watcher to realise it is Dave. 


Assessed by Jai 
1 strength of this shot list is that it shows a wide variety of angles. I can clearly see what shot types they will use and. I like the way you have explained how long the shot will be in the scene for. 
Another thing that i think is really good with this shot list is that i can clearly see what character are in the shot as you have the name. 

I would say that your shot list doesn't need much improvement however have gaps between the text when you move to a different location also add in more editing techniques.

Overall on the improvements and positive feedback we have gained we are going to improve on adding in more editing techniques and make locations clear.
