Shots

Below is the basic outline of each shot which my group produced while planning our thriller.

  • Shot one – starts with a black screen and fades into the red lights of the dark room. It is an over the shoulder shot of the murder dropping the photo paper into the tray in the darkroom.

  • Shot two – begins with the meeting of two characters on the corner of the crossroads. One character is a boy the other is a girl, they are both holding missing posters and generally talking. The girl and boy separate in walking down different streets.

  • Shot three – returns to the dark room....the camera shot is a close up on the tap...murder is washing his hands.  Dripping water in the background

  • Shot four – the camera is placed so the girl can be seen leaving one house and follows her round to Catlin’s house.

  • Shot five – point of view shot of Catlin’s house....camera acts as the audience looking at the house.

  • Shot six – returns to the dark room.....close up on picture in the tray now the picture is beginning to come through some of it visible.

  • Shot seven – girl knocks on the door but the door is not shut properly so opens.

  • Shot eight – this is followed by a low angle camera shot of characters feet walking into the house.

  • Shot nine – Girl looks around hallway and places the missing posters down on the table. Girl notices ring on the table.

  • Shot ten – next to the poster is a ring....the ring is of her missing friend. Camera has a close up on the ring.

  • Shot eleven – FLASH BACK! This is of someone giving the missing girl the ring.

  • Shot twelve – girl panics and runs to the door and begins to opening it however door is locked. (close up on handle of the door)

  • Shot thirteen – returns to the dark room.....camera follows along a piece of string containing photos of different young girls dead and focus on the last photo being hung up by the murder of character in the house. This is followed by a scream.

  • Shot fourteen – MISSING title appears suddenly after the scream.

  1. A good shot list Katherine. Try to use the correct terminology when describing camera shots; instead of "camera acts as audience", use POV shot. It would also be a good idea to mention transitions in this post.
