Spooks Seq 3- Shooting Schedule Activity

Storyboard Shot number	Shot description
1	This shot is filmed on the bridge and is a mid close-up shot which allows the audience to see some of the character’s body language. We are also able to see his facial expressions which are important for us to see how he is feeling, because without the use of narration for him to tell us, we wouldn’t know.
5	As we are still on the bridge, it would be best to film from the bridge the scene where the people start the fight. As this shot is filmed from a high angle, we are able to see a long-shot of all the characters and this is effective because it enables us to see who is involved and follow the action much more closely.
10 & 11	These shot are also filmed from the bridge, allows us to see clearly that the main character is getting beaten up and we are able to observe all the character’s without having to miss any action, compared to if it was a medium shot, obscuring some important action.
3	Now we move onto in front of the steps. This first shot is of the man at the top of the stairs, and we see a long shot of him coming down so that we can look at his entire body language which is useful here because the action is not as important to be shown in a mid-shot, however they could have showed a close-up shot of his feet walking down the stairs to make it more visually interesting for the audience.
4	The camera in this shot remains in the same place as we still film the man walking down the stairs, until he gets from a long shot of seeing his entire body, to a mid close-up shot and we get closer to him- giving us more insight on his facial expressions again.
2	We then move the camera from the steps slightly to the right so that we catch the view of most of the bridge and the man going down it. This enables us to not only see a long shot of him, but catches the bridge which can act as an establishing shot because it establishes where the action is taking place.
6	As the camera will still be on the ground, they need to turn it around so that we see the action of the people fighting, which is ground level. This is effective because it is like  we are there watching and gives it a sense of realism.
7	This shot is very similar to shot number 6, where it again shows the people fighting and getting more intense, adding an increasing amount of tension.  This, like shot number 6 is a mid shot so that we can get detail of them fighting but not too closely so that we miss any important action.
9	A close-up shot of the suitcase allows us to see in great detail the action which the character is undertaking which acquires all out attention on this and does not distract us with other things, such as facial expressions which are not necessary here.
8	The camera then focuses on the ground as the man falls and a mid close-up is shown as we see in detail what has happened to him.
12	The camera then slowly pans upwards as the man gets up, still focusing on the mid close-up shot as we gain more detail about his facial expressions and body language, gaining insight about how he feels.
