Initial Shot List

Below is the shot list based on our original storyboard. This may change overtime, although any changes will be reflected through updating the post. The shotlist will be helpful during both the production and post-production stages of developing our product, because it gives a more straight forward view of what each shot should look like than the more detailed storyboard, which also takes into account factors such as Mise-en-scene and the role of actors.

1. Close up of Jess' feet walking through a classroom.
2. Midshot of her body and possibly face to show that it is a girl.
3. Establishing shot of Sophie outside, waiting around the corner for Jess to arrive.
4. Close up of Jess opening the door one side.
5. A match on action cut to a long shot of her walking out of the door the other side.
6. A cut to a midshot the video being watched by Jess in her bedroom.
7. Close up of the video to show more detail about the video, its title, who uploaded it etc.
8. Close up of her phone as she receives a text message.
9. Another close up of the phone as she responds to the text.
10. A midshot of her watching a video from when the two girls were friends.
11. Slightly closer zoomed in shot to show her uploading the video to YouTube - putting the shot closer in represents her sinister intentions.
12. Close up shot of the video being played on YouTube, zooming in through the Ken Burns feature of iMovie until nothing is left of the shot apart from "Back At Ya" - the title of the film.

Whilst there will also be titles for the institutions, cast and crew, these shots are what will make up the basis of the film, so it is incredibly important that we shoot them as well as possible because they will be the part which is most difficult to go back and redo at a certain date, especially as we will only be redoing certain shots.
