Shooting Script

Today we began our planning, starting with a first draft of the shooting script for our video. We understand that there may be necessary changes to the script when we consider other ideas or want to adapt the original ideas we have, therefore we are classing this as our first draft shooting script.

Bold - Song timing, shot number/location and camera angles etc
Italic - Content during that shot
Courier font - highlighting camera angles/intention for editing
Underline - names of cast

0:00-1:13 -

Shot number: 1
Shot location: Woods
Camera angle/composition: P.O.V (point of view) establishing shots
Including; setting, including woods/trees/sky (nature)

Including opening credits.

0:13-0:36 - Shot number: 2

Shot location: Possibly drama room as we are aiming for a black background
Camera angle/composition: Vary between mid shots/close up shots

Individually lip syncing lyrics
Fran: "I've been waiting for you, it's been so long"
Laurie: "I knew just what I would do, when I hear your song"
Jodie: "The next thing I felt was you, holding me close"
The screen will split vertically 3 ways with each of our faces individually in each section.
All lip sync:
"What am I gonna do? I let myself go"
Black screen (approximately only 1 second)

0:36-0:42 -

Shot number: 3
Shot location: This shot will be filmed in a room with a green screen however only a black screen will be visible, therefore the setting will not be shown
Camera angle/composition: Extreme close up (lips only on screen)
Jodie: "Nothing left to say"
Laurie: "Take my breath away"
Fran: "Whispering your name"
Jodie: "Tie me up in chains"
Fran: "No-one puts it down like me"
We are also considering a 'grid-like' effect here for our lips - which we will later consider further in the editing process.

0:42-0:47 -

Shot number: 4
Shot location: Drama room

1:22-1:34 - 

Shot number: 11
Shot location: Woods
Camera angle/composition: This will be another montage of shots. We intend on using split screening in this shot (through the editing process), to portray a 'reminiscent' feel for the viewer, as though each of the characters are having flash backs - this will be shown by a montage of approximately three shots, which will be:
Laurie appearing innocent, being followed by the evil character, whilst being elsewhere in the shot appearing evil whilst watching herself being followed.
Fran appearing innocent whilst being captured by the evil character, whilst being elsewhere in the shot appearing evil and witnessing herself being captured.
