exact shots

• In the first 5 shots there is quick shots that help introduce all of the characters. from these shots we have most of them as about the waist shots or full body shots this is so that the audience have quite a detailed view on the characters but so that they can also see what's happening around the characters and the settings. A lot of films tend to use a panning shot to start off to show the audience the scene but we decided not to use this as we felt that we could use one later we wanted to introduce the characters first.
• the next shot is a shot that reads 'A Parker Production' this is to introduce the makers of the film as we have found from research that all films contain this.
• we will then see a still shot of cars passing, this shot is also to help set the scene for the audience and help them get a film for the city/urban genre. We then finish this shot with a zoom into lights to help carry onto our next shot as we feel that this would make an easy transition between shots.
• the next shot is a shot above the waist of our main character. We have decided to use this shot because it makes him seem really strong as he is facing straight down into the camera lens, we then zoom into a close up of his face to help get every detail as he swings the bat at the camera. this will help the audience feel they are part of the film.
• we then transend into a shot that shows the fighting scene this is just a simple two shot of people fighting this helps the audience to see everything that is going on instead of confusing them with quick cuts.
• this is when we reach our panning shot, this is a panning shots of different lights on the street to help with he urban scene and nature of the film.
• the out of focus effect will give us an advantage later in the film as it goes with the confusion that the main character is experiencing and how he is feeling lost etc.
• we switch back to one of the previous shots but this time with the cars going in a different direction to show the passing of time and the reversing that will come later in the film.
• we then see a shot of the camera moving from the bottom to the top of the screen and then focusing on a extreme close up of the cars moving forward.
• the next shot contains the main character dropping the bat that he has used in the fight scene the shot does not contain his face as we feel that the audience may concentrate on his facial expression rather then the fact that he is dropping the bat.
• we then see an unfocused shot of him walking away to show the confusion of the situation that he is in and to help portray his feelings.
• we then turn to the front of him making sure that we obeyed the 180 degree rule. he starts running  towards the camera and goes past this will make the audience feel that he is running past them as if they are an onlooker.
• we then fade into another panning shot that follows the direction in which the main character looks. this helps the audience to see what he is seeing and also helps them to see through his eyes and how he if feeling.
• switching to the opposite side we obey the 180 degree rule and it shows him looking back from where he has come from.
• we then have a point of view show, we felt that we need to make the audience feel as if they know what the main character is feeling as much as we can and this is why there are is so many point of view shots.
• we then see an close up that transends into an extreme close up to show the fact that the character is obviously upset and feel lost, confused and dazed and this is where we can see why the unfocused shots tie in.
• we then get all the shots in reverse to show the fact that the character wishes that he could go back in time to change everything that has happened.
• we then see a close up shot of him waking up in bed dazed.
• the shot then appears with a zoomed up image of a phone with a message reading 'this isn't over' this is to show that what has happening isn't a dream and then the cycle starts again.
• the final shot is of the title that reads 'hometown'.
