In preparation for production, I went over the final script and annotated it corresponding to how I personally visualised the film. This involved me writing down the shot's framing, movement, the characters movement/emotion as well as sometimes addressing how each shots would be cut together.
Here is a key showing the abbreviations I used with their meaning next to them.
Key
- ECU/XCU - Extreme Close Up
- MS - Mid Shot
- WS - Wide Shot
- OS - Over the Shoulder Shot
- SA - Side Angle
- FA - Front Angle
- BA - Back Angle
- LA - Low Angle
- HA - High Angle
- D - refers to the character Daniel
- POV - Point of View Shot
- Fwd - forwards
- V.O - Voice Over
The purpose of me doing this was to share my own vision of the project with the director and cinematographer so we could collaborate all of our ideas when creating the shot list which would reflect and build upon the film's themes whilst enhancing the visual aesthetics.
