Drama Project- Shotlist

Below is the shotlist I created after creating the script. This was then looked at by the rest of the group and edited accordingly by each person. We all decided on a final shotlist and this is what we came up with. Obviously this is liable to change during the production and we will treat this as a guideline more than an actual instructional list. We hope to get all these shots and more done in the two days we have available for shooting at our location. As you can see in scene 4 we are already changing the script and editing scenes out. However we are still confident about the overall piece and are looking forward to turning this into the final product. The next step is creating a storyboard so we can create an image for the shooting day.
