Shot List - Worded

Below is a rough draft of the shot list for our thriller film. I chose to make it not too detailed because it is likely that much will be changed through the filming and editing process depending on how things work out.


Catch it, Kill it.

• The opening shot for our thriller will be of a wet, dim street. It will be a straight shot and a vanishing point will be in the distance.

(dip to black)

• Medium shot of the same street. A teenager walks on the path with a car driving alongside him. They walk directly towards the camera and the shot ends up with a close-up of the cars headlight as the boy exits the shot.
