Our shot list will consist of a number of different shots. We are aiming to do about 30 different shots in the space of 2 minutes. They will consist of shots such as close ups, long shots, mid long shots, panning shots, handheld shots etc.
Because we chose to do a murder mystery and teen drama genre film opening, there will be alot of close ups.
For the first shot it will be a close up of Ife's foot, this would help open the film by bringing mystery right from the word go. It will capture the audiences attention and will make them want to know what is going on, or even, what or who they are looking at. It also helps with keeping the audience interested and not having them drift off right at the start of the film, it makes the audience want to get to know the character and find out a bit more about who this person is and what they are doing on the floor. It opens with a number of reasons running through the audiences mind and makes them confused as the 2nd shot is of Fiona which is completely different and contrasts with the extreame close up of Ife's foot.
As we will be cross cutting between Ife and Fiona the second shot will be a long shot of Fiona walking by the side of the cannal, towards the camera, this helps with the narative strands in the film as it links in the 2 shots as both Ife and Fiona are by the cannal. Therefore, the audience get the gist that both characters are either involved with each other, know each other, or something between them will happen. Moreover, the fact that Fiona is walking towards the camera will help with getting to know the character from just the first shot as she is revealed the closer she becomes to the camera.
The next shot will be another close up of Ife, this would be a close up of his legs, as we will be working up his body to cover the mystery of his identity. We will also be seeing different shots of his body so that it poses confusion on the audience, still not knowing what is going on. As each close up is shown it helps create an imagine of Ife in the audiences mind so that they can piece together of whom they think is lying there on the floor.
The next shot would go back to Fiona again walking in and out of the shot, still walking by the side of the cannal. This would also be a long shot, helping to show the continuity of her walking in and out of each shot, as if she is still walking and carrying on from where we left the last shot of her, but slightly moved along to show that time has pasted and that both shots of each characters are happening at the same time.
It will then go to a close up of Ife's hand, again keeping the mystery of the Ife and whether or not he is dead, however, this still helps uncover the character even if it is only showing a small section of the character. Also, even though it is uncovering his identity slowly it helps keep the audience on the edge of their seats and starts getting the audience anxious and wanting to uncover the character.

keeping with the cross cutting of both characters, the next shot will be of Fiona again, walking futher along beside the cannal. This will be a long shot and then ends as she walks past the camera and out the shot. This would again help show that Fiona has been walking for a while up the side of the cannal.
Following this shot will be another close up of Ife. futher up his body adding suspense to almost revealing his identy but just as the audience think that they will find out who it is the shot cuts off and we see Fiona again.
The next shot of Fiona helps add more time onto finding out Ife's identity and sort of acts as a shot that helps pass time. however at the same time it questions as to why Fiona is walking up the side of the cannal while Ife is lay on the floor, possibly dead.
The next shot will be a pan of Ife from his feet up to his torso, leaving out his head and still not uncovering his identy, as the face helps the audience picture Ife's character. However, the close ups also help tell the audience what sort of character Ife is playing from the sorts of clothes he is wearing and what position his hands, feet and body are in.
In each shot of Ife it will help show mystery of his character and wont reveal his face until the very end when Fiona sees him. This would mean that both, Fiona and the audience, will find out at the same time and as though the audience is in Fiona's shoes, relating to what is happening within the film.
