Shot List

Below is a shot list of all of the shots that I have included in my final video, and why I used them.

- The first two clips of the video will consist of data that I have collected to give some background information on the  care system. I did this because I wanted to ensure that my audience had an idea what my video was about, and had some background information to start my film off.

- The next shot in my video will be a medium close up of my actor, introducing himself and talking about his life.I included this because I wanted to introduce the little boy, in a personal and direct way, before the audience were shown his story.

- The following two scenes will show my actor in a close up shot miming the lyrics to the song. I wanted to do this because I want to draw the audience in very quickly and early on in the song. Which I think this direct mode of address will do.

- The next scene will be of my actor walking, in a high angle shot focusing on his feet. I am planning to add a slow motion effect to this scene, as I feel it will intensify the mood and idea.

- This shot will be a high angle shot of my actor looking directly into the camera, I want to do this as I feel that it will make the video intense, and will show the innocence and age of the little boy acting in my video.

- Another shot of the little boys feet, adding to the effect already spoken about above.

- Medium close up of the little boy standing looking directly at the camera, to add to direct mode of address feeling already spoken about.

- Another clip of little boy speaking about his life, high angle shot.

- Long shot of shadow of the little boy spinning, I want to do this as I feel it will add uniqueness and originality into my video.

- Establishing shot of little boy walking in front of trees, I want to do this as I want the audience to feel the isolation my character my actor is trying to create.

- Medium close up, following the little boy side on. I want to show different angles of the little boy to diversify my shots.

- Extreme close up of the little boy closing his eyes, adding a 'replicate' effect. Want to keep intensity going.

- Cloning shot, the little boy walking across the screen, and spinning in the corner. Want to add effects that show isolation and intensity. I also want to create the idea that his 'mind' is in many different places and show a confusion in his thoughts.
