Main Task - Shotlist

  • Opening Credits - Black screen with white texts to make the text stand out. The role in smaller text and the name of the student in larger font to emphasise the name.
  • A sound bridge of the phone ringing will link the two scenes. Close up of the phone ringing. The setting of this would be in a living room or maybe bedroom - a room where it's dark to create an intense start to the film.
  • Zoom out from previous scene so viewers can see 'Mo' in the shot which. will show a shallow depth of field, the focus was first on the phone whilst 'Mo' is blurry but reverses to the telephone being blurry and now the focus is on 'Mo'.
  • This will be a flashback. A long shot of Emma walking home. She will be on her phone texting. The location will be dark with very little lighting and on a quiet road. We will add a different effect to this so that the viewer can identify that it has already happened.
  • Mo answers the phone with some hesitation.
  • We will split the screen for this scene so that both characters can be seen at the same time. Both characters will stand with the phone against their ear. Both will be in different locations, Antonio walking quickly down a busy road and Mo inside his house. The conversation will take place during this scene.
  • Back to a flashback of Emma texting. This time we will zoom in on the phone screen to focus on what she is texting and who she is texting.
  • Medium close up of Mo still on the phone to Antonio looking worried. The phone then ends with the "end tone" which we will use from Garage band.
  • Mo slowly takes the phone from his ear, as he slowly takes in what has just be said to him and replaces the phone back on the table.
  • Flashback of Mo at his house receiving Emma's text.
  • Shot of Mo leaving his house. First shot is him opening the door, the next shot is Mo exiting the house.
  • Long shot flashback which shows Emma walking with Antonio in the background, following her. This scene will have low key lighting also.
  • We see Mo get into his car and start the ignition. The lighting here will be brighter, natural daylight.
  • Extreme close up of the car wheel to show Mo speeding off.
  • Flashback of Emma's phone lying on the ground ringing out. A sound bridge will link the two scenes.
  • Long shot of Mo bringing the car to a sharp standstill, where he should have been picking Emma up.
  • Mo finds the phone alongside Emma's bag, coincidently a her phone receives a text at the same time.
  • Flashback to Emma in a dark room, alone.
  • Black screen and '24 hours' appears on the screen in a large white font.
