Shot List

After vast research we have come up with several ideas our film opening. We want the opening and the credit to be fairly quirky and unusual...



Credits


• When the two binary opposite characters are getting dressed I had the idea of using name labels, for the director’s credits.


• Also whilst the less fortunate (Unpopular) girl is rushing getting ready and doing homework at the same time, she could type her name at the end of her work.


• Whilst both the female leads are eating breakfast, we could use some credits on the food boxes.


• Some of the credits could also look effective with post coming through the door.




Interesting shots


• When the un –popular girl wakes up using a soft focus shot to make the shot ‘fuzzy’ then she reaches for her glasses (the shot is a close up of her hand); the shot changes to a close up of her face (still fuzzy): as she puts her glasses on the shot becomes clearer.


• The camera is put in the fridge, the fridge is then opened and there is a close up/ mid shot of one of the female leads, however this shot is going to be repeated with both of the females –the mise en scene represents the binary opposites.


• When the (un-popular) female is biking to school, she goes under a tunnel – we believe that a bird’s eye shot would look effective here.


• When the females are eating breakfast we had the idea of zooming into one bowl of cereal in the un –popular girl’s house then when it zooms out the shot is in popular girls house: same bowl of cereal.


• The first shot of the ‘popular’ girl begins in an extreme close up of just her eyes then zooms out to a long shot.


• When the ‘popular’ female steps out of the car (at school) – beginning with one leg then the other. A close up of the heeled shoe should be used then a zoom out to show the leg then a tilt shot should be used. This shot connotes her sexuality –Laura Mulvey’s male gaze.
