Planning - Shot types - First Scene

Here is the current basic shot list of my film opening for my first scene.

• POV close up on lamp
• Reverse tracking shot of Sean Saunders - beginning with ECU on eyes to a mid shot which reveals the second character in the scene.
• Interspersed in the progression of this shot will be a side shot of the lamp - reflecting the side shot of the shower head in Psycho - and blurred POV shots of the ash tray
• After the second character is revealed there will be a low angled shot of this character lighting a cigarette.
• A reaction shot of Sean Saunders squinting
• POV ECU of cigarette being lit in SLOW MOTION
• Another reaction shot of S.S
• "Is he dead?" - overlapping reaction shot
• Shot reverse shot between two characters during dialougue; low angled shot of Dr. Banes whereas cropped, high angled shot of Sean Saunders.
• Shot of handcuffs
• Occasional ECL of Dr. Banes' mouth whilst smoking.
• Scene will end with ECL of lamp whilst turning off

This is subject to change. I will update my shot list if any changes occur.
