Direction unit- prep work for shoot.

So before i started shooting my 3 minute scene I did quite a lot of preparation work for it. This is so that i could have as many decisions made and almost everything planned out before the day and not leave it until the last minute.
Here is the shot list that i did for the shoot day:


Establishing shot of kitchen.
Long shot of all three characters playing out scene
M/S Jo playing out scene
C/U Jo playing out scene
M/S Maddie playing out scene

C/U Hennie playing out scene
Pick up’s:
C/U lime being thrown, camera following it
C/U Lime being thrown to the side
M/S Maddie and Hennie’s reaction to ‘yeah hes hot’

Here is my script break down which shows all the props, location, who the cast are and who the crew are:


Location: Westree Court

Props: dining table, candles, vodka bottles, glasses, lime, magazines
