planning - Shotlist

In our film the first shot is of the interrogation between the suspect and the detective. It starts as a close up of the detective (Josh Ford).

This then becomes an over the shoulder shot from the detective looking at the suspect (suspects face bloodied and bruised).

The next shot is a two shot at the side of the desk and the suspect talking to the detective protesting his innocence.

Following this shot there is a one shot of the suspect (me) sat at home writing on a coffee table then the door bell rings so he stands up, walks past the camera and towards the door. All of this still one shot the cinematographer follows the suspect with the camera through the porch door and to the front door where the suspect finds a box with the incriminating gun inside. The camera is pushed in on the suspects face from a side angle as he picks up the gun and looks for the car that has just sped off.

The next shot is back to the two shot of both the suspect and the detective at the table (returning back to normal after the flashback). The detective is threatening to send him "out there" and the suspect replies "no please

The shot after this is then another flashback to a a canted over the shoulder shot of the police officer questioning the suspect, then he releases him and the suspect walks out of frame.

The shot immediately after is an extreme close up of a police badge, the camera then pulls out to reveal two policemen hiding behind a wall as the suspect walks out. They run out after him and one policeman has a bat.

The shot changes to a point of view of the suspect for a split second as the bat hits the suspects face,

After this shot a three shot shows the suspect falling to the floor and the two policemen beating the suspect.

A short point of view shot from the suspect shows the policeman picking him up and punching him in the face.

The next shot could be seen as a master shot as it returns again to the two shot of the suspect and detective at the desk.The detective hands over a piece of paper and and the suspect picks it up and reads it as the camera is arched to the right to become an over the shoulder shot.

Following this a medium shot of the detective shows him getting up from the desk and walking around to the suspect as the camera pans left. The detective puts the suspect in a headlock/ strangulation position from behind and once the suspect has agreed to his proposition, throws his head on the desk.
