Filming will commence very shortly, and then editing after that. We have to fit all the filming into a very tight schedule while also keeping every shot to a high standard. To try and achieve this we have decided to be as efficient as possible and create a 'script' of sorts so that we can easily just work down the list rather than trying to figure out which shot we are doing next and where.
Shot 1 - Fade in to man in civilian clothing playing piano, lighting and music create tension with a slow pan behind the pianist. Conforming to the conventions of the thriller genre.
Shot 2 - Man carrying suitcase meets man standing at the top of a staircase.
Shot 3 - More footage of Pianist.
Shot 4 - After the suitcase has been exchanged between the two men they are interrupted by a third, dressed the same. They turn towards the camera and walk away, through a door, out of shot. A masked man (Assassin) appears to be following them and hides behind a pillar on the stairs.
Shot 5 - Masked man is seen to follow the men and sneaks around at the top of the stairs.
Shot 6 - Match-on-action and continuity rules are followed as the shot flips to the men opening and walking through the door from the opposite side.
Shot 7 - Shot from behind the door that the men just went through, showing the masked man looking through a window in the door. Through this window we see the man with the suitcase enter a room alone (TV Studio) and the other men continue walking down the corridor.
Shot 8 - Match-on-action and continuity rules are followed as the shot flips to inside the room the lone man just entered (TV Studio). He sits down and a computer and begins to work.
Shot 9 - More Footage of Pianist.
Shot 10 - Man puts on headphones, allowing the Masked man to enter unheard. Masked man sneaks up behind man and breaks neck. (A decision will be made on whether or not to include this footage or end it here, the choice will be made during editing.)
Shot 11 - Pianist finishes and stands up, revealing the mask on the floor (A decision will be made on whether or not to include this footage because of how this is only an opening. The choice will be made during editing.)
All of these shots are liable to change in order or in content in slight ways. This is the base of what we will do for each shot and how we will intertwine the footage to create the piece that we want.
