Green light: Production Countdown

At last, it's all done! We have finished our pre-production proposal by completing the Camera Shot List and Location Recce!  We received approval to begin filming our film, "Words Unspoken."  We presented our idea to our head producer, who looked over it all. He pointed out a few little problems, but we were given suggestions on how to fix them or improve for the future. 

Here is a summary of our Camera Shot List following a thorough analysis and revision of all the data:

In summary, there are four scenes total, twenty-five shots total, and the film production run from three until five o'clock.

Everything taken into account, close-ups, over-the-shoulder shots, and cuts will have the biggest influence on the narrative of our film.   Near the close of Scene 2 and throughout the rest of the opening, it is made clear that Riley's mental health is unstable and that any small incident may cause her to breakdown.   Here, Riley's facial expressions are carefully used to convey complex feelings, particularly when she isn't speaking through conversation or narration.   Riley's fall and breakdown is bound to impact the audience's hearts, therefore sequence 4 is certain to be a sequence filled with intense despair.   Riley's gaze appears numb at several moments in this introduction, suggesting that she isn't feeling anything. In Scene 4, she fails to realize that she is sobbing until the tears have already fallen.

We have four scenes instead of three since we decided that the title screen reveal will be its own scene. There are just two outdoor shots, and they will be taken at a park close to our main filming site.

Our film's opening will include a lot of music. The intensity of the situations is shown by the presence of volume and pitch changes. Also, the tensest mood will be created by the silence while the music is not playing since it appears that even the smallest sound might have a good or bad impact on the final result.

The title screen, regular character cuts, and the conclusion of our opening, where the camera fades to black to indicate the finish, will all be examples of how transitions will be used properly. Logically this will be done to leave the film on a high note so that viewers can think about what will happen next.

We have been given permission to move on to the next phase, which is film production, so all we need to do now is get our hands on the camera!
