FICTIONAL ADAPTATION: SHOT LIST

After breaking down the script, I was able to write up my shot list and figure out what I needed to film.

When planning this I knew that I wanted 3 main camera techniques used throughout this film which is the classic locked off tripod, tracking shots and handheld movements as I feel these work best for the story. 

With Scenes 1 and 8 I had the movements very smooth or locked off to match with the seriousness and the calmness of the scene. Both are very emotional scenes and very important to the story so I wanted movement with the camera to match with that emotion. With the scenes in the street I chose to match with the actors walking and go handheld expect for the reveal of the flowers, I wanted a forward tracking shot to slowly reveal them to the audience. Other shots go with shot reverse shot on dialogue and a pointed down shot of 'Becky' in scene 3 when she lays down on the bed. 

As well as having cut aways of the ribbons and of the pinwheel to mix in with the film to help with visual narrative. 

With all this, I'm officially ready to go into production.
