SHOOTING PRE-PRODUCTION - SHOT LIST

As part of my pre-production i decided to create and use a shot list rather than a storyboard, the is because i find myself being more organised with my shoot when i have a written list of everything i would like to capture and therefore can tick it off as i go along with the shoot, which is what i did.

Scene One

1 – C.U shot of the front living room window, outside of the window a car can be seen on a driveway on the opposite house, a man can faintly be seen getting out of the car. The back of AMANDA’S head can be seen as she is the one looking out of the window.
