Shooting Script

Shooting Script:

Day 1 of filming:
Close up of a candle whilst lit
Candle then begins to flicker
Eye level shot of candle
Candle light blows out synchronous to music
A close up eye level shot of a blown out candle, within low key lighting.
Stop motion close up eye level of an egg cracking. (Reference to "Pitch" blog post, with specific acknowledgment of the symbols slide.)

Day 2 of filming:
Shot in park, gripping dirt
Lower body shot in park pinned down, with assailant on top
POV shot of assailant with hand pinned on girls mouth
Pushing girls limbs to the floor
Low angle perhaps in the dirt, of the male arm overpowering the female arms again by having it pushing the limbs to the floor, not only to recognise the strength but the total lack of freedom to victim has in such a sexual assault.
Match on action of same shot but within the woods laying on the forest floor.
Match on action of same shot of her in same position but on the forest floor again.
Match on action of same shot but her in the woodland, perhaps even with the perpetrator positioned behind.
Eye level extreme close up of melting candle.

Day 3 of filming:
High angle almost birds eye of her laying on her bed in a curled up foetal position (emphasising vulnerability), on the bed we had previously established.
Match on action of above shot, yet using a fruit such as a blood orange (final shot involved a pomegranate), to imitate the blood spillage, more as a metaphorical symbolism, yet also to be subliminal.
Close up eye level pan of her in a car or train travelling with her head on the window, leaning whilst crying.
Mid shot on public transport (bus) from over the shoulder shot and another eye level side on shot.
Extreme close up high angle (almost POV) of blade about to slit a female wrist.
Match on action of above shot, yet using a fruit such as a blood orange etc to imitate the blood spillage, more as a metaphorical symbolism, yet also to be subliminal.

Day 4 of filming: (working off of improvements and feedback)
Symbolism of feathers falling onto a bed
Milk being poured into a bowl of water (title typography scene)
A close up shot of her sitting in bed, faced side on from the camera to express emptiness.

Between these we will have the subliminal shots fading into black screens, the symbols contrasting to the sexual assault as calm vs terror. The black screens aid to build up the tension, yet since it is not a montage edit we are building from our editing type from last years coursework, whilst creating a more serious and mature tone to our social realism piece.
